Hi Kevin, "is there some way to take care of the places other than one-at-a-time?" Import your GEDCOM file into a new Legacy file, then look at the Location Master List. Fix an item there, and it will be fixed in every piece of data where it appears. You get to this list via View > Master Lists

Yes, and I recall your post as well as many others in the past (going back several years here). It's been one of those little annoying problems in Legacy that's never been addressed. Probably because the problem cannot be readily duplicated but many users report having the same problem from time

YES. As most of us recommend, always gedcom into a new file, fix the locations to the way you like the locations, then merge together. That way you can also use the tool to make that author a Source for each person automatically. So when you merge a person to himself, you can scroll the sources

In my own case, I found what I had done, in L5, unintentionally accepted bad spellings into my dictionary. The obvious one was 'teh' instead of 'the'. I then went into that file and deleted the bad spellings. I was surpised by how many I had put in. It may not be the same problem. Rich in LA CA
