Top 10 Locations On My Family Tree

This is a list of the top 10 most "popular" unique locations for people on my family tree. Screenshot from my "Family File Statics" report in Legacy 9.

Although I have over 29,000 unique locations in my family tree database, the above shows the top 10 most inhabited places for people who are either related to me by blood or by marriage.

I am a little surprised that the state of Iowa isn't on there, but Fairview Township, Jones, Iowa is (obviously I am related to a lot of people from that one place).

I am not surprised by the 2 locations (York and Hopewell Township) in York County, Pennsylvania, since I felt like I spent forever on my location cleanup there.  People from there generally seemed to stay there, with only an occasional individual or family group leaving (as my Frederick Grove/Leah Bixler did in the 1830s).

Creating a List of People By Location

Can't do this on Ancestry!  A list of the people in my tree who lived in or had a life event in Niwot, Boulder, Colorado, birthplace of my biological grandmother Alta Mae Slater.

One big reason I purchased stand-alone genealogy software (in this case Legacy 9) was to create lists of people to research by location, or by any other specific criteria.  Although Ancestry is a giant database it doesn't allow the user to create this type of report.

This is so fun!
