All of my D.C. folks are very early on - so I get to use the county
system. While it looks odd, what was suggested might work - or perhaps
leave the city blank - put washington where you normally would put the
county - and then the district and country.

It may not be right but it depends on the time frame you are discussing.
Early on, D.C. had two counties - Washington and Alexandria - and
encompassed a portion of Virginia. In that case you probably would have
treated it like any city and state with reference to the county. Later

What is the proper way to write Washington, DC using all 4 fields?
Legacy gives it as Washington, District of Columbia, District of
Columbia, United States in the geo location database and that doesn't
sound right.

Of course, that assumes you have a birth or bap/chr date.

Today when I exported my family file of 11218 individuals and
3925 families to a Gedcom, I saw that these numbers had increased
to 11224 and 3929 respectively.
Have you any idea why this increase should be as it has never
