I am in the process of cleaning up my list of locations and have run into a problem. I have deleted all locations that were unused. I have begun changing names of locations that have incorrect spelling, incomplete or for some other reason. There are some locations in the list that are not geographical and I have no idea how they got on the list. For example Brother's Keeper and Ancestry are listed as locations. I have done a search of locations with events to find where they are used, but it does not list any event or person. When I search for the locations with events, I choose 'all events' on the first page and under options choose 'only locations that include' and then list whatever location I am trying to find. Are there locations that are not connected to events? If so, how do you find them. I need to locate where they are connected to see why they are there and use a more specific location.

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.
