It's St. Joseph, not St. Joseph's
Just spent some time cleaning up my Rootsmagic database. Seems that even though I'm a native Hoosier, I've managed to manage the name of the county that South Bend lies within. The correct name of the county is St. Joseph, not St. Joseph's, which is apparently the way I had it spelled in several entries.
One of the features I like about Rootsmagic is the ability to search through all the data using the Rootsmagic Explorer. Just search for any fact place that contains the search string you need and you're off to the races.
