WA for Washington State and Western Australia London, Middlesex County is in many eastern U.S. states, Ontario, Canada and Australia as well as England. I also do NOT use any location abbreviations and make sure I spell out the whole of a location including countries. You should see the messes on some of the online trees because people were lazy about filling out location information and then uploaded a ged.com and the autofill took over, or they entered a location and were not careful to make sure they did not accidentally click on one of the autofill choices.

You will find the CO is for Colorado, County and whatever else. Also CA (for California) is has many international meanings. Thanks, David C Abernathy Email disclaimers
