I keep PNA turned on all the time. Doesn't mean that I have to spend 8 hours a day working on resolving places, but I like to see the flag pop up when I put In a new place name.

Also, I am working on resolving the place names, so the 31,000 will go down. Guess 1 unique name per 4 individuals is about right. My primary file has a bit over 130,XXX folks and when I started with FTM 2012 and the PNA, I had over 30,000 "place names" too. I am currently down to about 15,6XX place names by conglomerating names - a variety of spellings. Of those 15,6XX names, about 10,2XX do NOT have place warning flags. I expect that I will continue towards a lower number over time, but my 8 hour days of PNA editing will not reduce that number by 1,000+ per day anymore. I hope to get to a point where I shall feel comfortable turning the PNA back ON.
