Liz et al, FYI, genealogy software has evolved and are now GPS oriented. They contain mapping and its own Cemetery mapping. For this reason, locations should be keyed in correctly.
Family Heritage software, for example, deletes addresses it does not recognize. I was using short form P. Delgada, S. Miguel, Azores when I began researching and find that any/all address such as this one, the software deleted it, leaving it blank when I uploaded the gedcom file. Also obvious, it does not recognize Azores as a Country but as a “Region” of Portugal. So now I’ve learned to include complete addresses: Civil Parish, Council, Region, Country. In this case the correct process would be Sao Joao, Lajes, Pico “Island”, Azores, Portugal. I also go a step further and define the region as Island for the Azores islands. Again to identify it from other same name Regions of Portugal.

But some new stuff started popping up that had Lajes in there so I thought I was doing something wrong I’m sticking with my way Thanks Cheri Liz Sent from my iPhone On Jun 25, 2019, at 10:15 AM, Cheri Mello <gfsche...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Liz, A few people do the district. Most do not, as it becomes confusing really quickly. I would do Sao Joao (or São João if you prefer) which is the freguesia (village), Pico (the island), Azores. You can add in Portugal if you like. I figure anyone looking at my research 50 years from now would know they are looking at my Portuguese branches.
