Virginia counties list lacks Princess Anne Co.

  The list of counties provided for Virginia does not include Princess Anne Co. Since the label specified Princess Anne, I added that to the Location label, but that's presumably sub-optimal.

  This county was merged into the city of Virginia Beach in 1963. Many VA counties have had similar name changes. The city names follow the county name lists in the drop-down pick list in the county field.

  Its a good point --- this kind of problem often appears in legacy data. In those cases, I usually try to trace the problem via google searches, which takes extra time but at least it helps figure out what to do.

  Yes, since posting my original comment, I've started using google to see if I can find out what's happened.
