Hi everyone,
What are people's preferences for recording addresses in an event? (I'm not
talking about Birth, Christening, Death, Burial etc. which seem to be
treated differently in reports, but 'ordinary events'.) If you go to the
detailed screen of an 'event', it seems to be sensible to me to put the
'geo-location in the 'place' field, e.g., Tamworth, , Staffordshire,
England. If you want to add details of the address, it appears to me that
you can do one of three things:
1) Use the Address field (by clicking on the House/phone icon at the top of
the page
2) Type the full address in the 'Notes' section in the large centre square
3) Type the first part of the address in the 'Description' field.
At present, I am leaning towards 3) for a number of reasons. If you
generate a report and want the full address, by using the address field you
get the full address plus the 'geo-location'. A similar thing happens if
you use the 'notes' (which in any case, I like to reserve for other things).
If you use the 'Description' field, it seems to read better e.g. "He resided
at 123, Fore Street from about 1066 to 1099, in Tamworth, , Staffordshire,
England"
I would be interested to hear from people as to how they input addresses,
and why they choose a particular preference.
Best wishes
David
