Change twp

Some people like to write twp where there is a township mentioned. This query changes that to Township. This query is intended if you already have everything set to Township but you import a gedcom where there are still twp's. In case you want to change the whole database you will have to replace the DELETE statement with UPDATE tng_places REPLACE (place, Twp.','Township'); in the first set of queries and to UPDATE tng_places REPLACE (place, Twp.','Township');

Copy and paste the text between the lines into the MySQL section of your MySQL admin, IMPORTANT: Make a backup before you try anything and use this at your own risk!
