I think you are correct, Mary. The place field = location list and if you want to distinguish between specific places in a city (or county, for that matter, when you don't have a city involved) by putting a pin in each of them, then you have to have a way to distinguish between them in the location list.
There are probably better ways to accomplish this, but I've been putting locations in like "Seagraves - Cemetery, Gaines County, Texas" and "Seagraves - Walter Perry homestead, Gaines County, Texas". It requires a little work to manipulate the pins to the exact places I want them to be, but so far, it's been worth it to me to do it. It's actually sort of fun to be able tweak the map pins. I've also found some things I didn't know existed until I had to fool around with researching things that VE couldn't automatically find. I had no idea there was a Calfee Road in Montgomery County where my Calfee kin lived & died until I had to search out where the cemetery pin needed to go. (I'll be darned! How about that?! <grin>) Penny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2008 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions On 6/28/08, Heather Stovold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Put the street address in the description of the residence event, and > the city/town, county, etc in the Place field. If you do that, it's my understanding you can only map to the town itself, not the exact street address(es). Or am I wrong??
