Ros,
Understand your problem with the abbreviation "SA".
Can I suggest in future if you have a query on an abbreviated location,
select
"Help>Type in 'Abbreviations'>then select "Common Abbreviations'"
then look for the abbreviation you require.
The abbreviations adhere to a world standard which is known as the Chapman
Code and is used in genealogy research. Apart from that, each country falls
into line with a standard for postal reasons. For example in Australia - QLD
represents Queensland, in U.S.A. - KS is Kansas, in England SSX is Sussex.
Hope this helps
Noel
(VIC, AUS)

Pleeeeeease put in 'USA'. I am in the UK and am English, and would not
have the first clue what 'WV' stood for. Somebody very kindly sent me a
GEDCOM where most of the events happened in 'SA'. It has taken me many
months to work out that this was 'South Australia'.
