Thanks to John Steed and Jim Dell I have resolved the problem of the mysterious locations. The mysterious locations were not connected with an event, but part of the To Do list. I didn't realize that the list of locations would include those locations in To Do in addition to locations with events.

To Tommy Michaels I think you are saying you have already done File, Locations, Delete Unused. Try going to Lists, Word Search, at the top pick the Any Field tab, then type the word like Brother's Keeper or Ancestry or whatver then click: Make List to Edit If that does not find the location, go to Lists, Todo Report, and type the word in the location field there. Then on Fields to Include pick the BK code number. Then click Preview to find people that have that word in the ToDo location field.

I enter addresses with the street or other location in a reverse format eg BRAINTREE, ESSEX, ENGLAND. 78 Lower Railway Street That way when I type brain and press F8 I get all of my Braintree addresses, starting with the generic BRAINTREE, ESSEX, ENGLAND. I also have things like BRAINTREE, ESSEX. The Independent Chapel as a location. I do regret having started all in upper case for the main section, but haven't got the heart to change all of my locations, now. Regards Steve On 11/05/2015 03:30, J. P.

Sources I have 'Title', 'Actual text for this citation', 'Page / Reel number' boxes ticked for printing in all my filled in Sources. In Group Report is there any way to print just the 'Title' and 'Page / reel number'? Is there a facility to do group Unclick of the 'Actual Text for this citation'? I just want in this case to have just the 'Title' and the 'Page / reel number' and maybe the 'Quality of Data'. I do not want to have to Unclick all the 'Actual text for this citation' for each source. By the way I am still on BK6 but thinking of the move to BK7.

I started out, and have continued, using reverse order so all my lists come out easy to group. Example: USA, Ohio,Butler County, West Chester, street address I like this form for making search lists.

I had this very same puzzle once and then discovered that the Location List also includes anything entered in the Location field under the To Do tab/list. In that case it's likely the location of where you were going to look for the information. > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 17:31:38 -0400 > From: "Tommy Michaels" <[email protected]> > Subject: [BK] Location Cleanup > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > > > I am in the process of cleaning up my list of locations and have run into a > problem.
