point in the future, Legacy decides to limit locations to four items
separated by commas ... city, county, state, country?

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Burial Location Entry
I think I may have figured it out.....I can't believe my learning curve is
so steep with this stuff...
I had failed to check the box that said to combine only the ones checked.
That's okay, because in the list, there were several repeats of cemetery
names, so what it did was to combine all duplicates, not just the cemetery
where I had 20 occurrences. So, I think I'm okay.
Still, I need to have a better understanding. I think, in my case, I should
not have viewed the training video where the instructor said NOT to put the
name of the cemetery in the Burial Location field, but rather to click on
the + and then Burial Address and then put the name of the cemetery in the
Name field on the Burial Address screen. That's what I did, every single
time. Since in Family Tree Maker, I had put the name of the cemetery in the
burial location field, after the import, I was trying to follow the training
video and have already spent hours taking OUT the name of the cemetery from
the Burial Location field and putting it IN the Burial Address Name field.
As a result, I ended up with several single occurrences of that cemetery
name.
So, I don't really know where to go from here. Ron, am I understanding from
your method, that I would do this in the Burial Location field on the
Individual's screen (my example is for a USA person):
Name of Cemetery, Name of City, Name of County, Name of State, USA
and then don't even click on the +
Ron, I have looked at the output on your web page, and I like the way it
looks there, so I'm thinking to follow your method (also, the less screens I
have to click on to get to, and the less duplicate information I need to
record, the better).
Am I on the right track?
Barbara
