Appears the use of brackets is your problem - change to parentheses and should be OK...........
, , Canada (probably Vancouver, British Columbia) Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ralf_x Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 7:40 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date) Hi Tom: I was playing with your suggestion and created a location called: Canada [probably Vancouver, British Columbia] Unfortunately, it appears in the Master Location list as: British Columbia] , Canada [probably Vancouver, To get it to list properly, I have to remove the comma from between Vancouver and British Columbia, then it lists as: Canada [probably Vancouver British Columbia] I hate not seeing a comma between Vancouver and British Columbia. What do you do to get around this? Thx! Ralf ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Montgomery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 11:41:59 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date) I have always looked at "of" and "probably" as having two very distinct meanings. I use "of" to designate a place of residence when an event occurs such as a marriage - you might not know where he/she was born but one knows where he lived at the time of a later event. The word "possibly", or "probably" if you want to add some strength to the situation, is used when I am making an educated guess as to where the event occurred. Depending on era and circumstances you can make a decent guess as to birth/baptism from where he/she lived at the time - not true with contemporary marriages. Some event notes might be in order for clarification. Also on the "probably" situation, I use throughout the address. If I have proof that an individual was born in Illinois but I believe he might well have been born in Chicago then I enter as , , Illinois (probably Chicago, Cook County). Same thing if I have proof it is , Cook County, Illinois, then I might enter , Cook County (probably Chicago), Illinois. I would not use "probably Chicago, Cook County, Illinois" if I have proof the event was in Cook County, Illinois as it means (at least to me) you have no proof on any part of the location. The word "near" can come into play hear as well - ties down the location a bit more, such as 'Amite County (near Zion Hill), Mississippi'.

I use the following format: Of Orem, Utah Co., Utah, USA Of, Utah Co., Utah, USA Etc...

Is it preferred to leave a location blank or put in a probable location "Probably Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada"? Is there a standard for this? Is there a location (book, webpage, etc) where standards such as this are listed? Thx! Ralf __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
