Procedure for Deleting Locations

If an administrator wishes to delete a location the administrator must first re-direct all existing references to another location.

  1. Select one of the existing references to the location. Selecting the reference displays either the edit page for the individual or edit page for the family.
  2. Locate the current reference in the individual or family. The location is contained in an event.
  3. Edit the location text in the event to refer to another location.
  4. When you have applied the update click on the browser "Go back one page" icon one or more times to get back to the list of individuals and families referencing the location. If there are no more references then a button is presented to delete the location. Otherwise repeat the process for the next reference.
