I do NOT use these at all. As these are Postal Codes and NOT abbreviations. There are way too many that are the same for different Postal locations and think they should not be used with genealogy data. Also note, I do not like using abbreviations either as they create other problems in other areas of one's data.

In My Docs/Legacy Family Tree/_AppData/_AppData/Misc there are several text files used to manage the conversions between short and long location names. The file GeoCountyCodes.txt includes codes for all counties in the United Kingdom with a second copy for Great Britain, and for the counties for Ireland. The file GeoStateCodes.txt includes state codes for US, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Australia, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Which of these two files is used for the Expand/Contract Location Parts process? Or are they both involved? How can the Australian state codes in the GeoStateCodes file be activated? There is no check box for Australia and they do not seem to work even though they are in the file. Can other sets of codes (eg. New Zealand Provincial codes ) be added to this file, and if so how would they be accessed?
