IMHO, I have decided that any discernible location is similar to a town. A good example is Buckingham Palace, since its permanent employees/residents constitute a town size population, and it keeps track of BMD on its own, and some castles have multiple church records in the various chapels. In the USA, there are some cemeteries with over 10000 burials, so the same 'size' criterion is met. The disinctions are becoming hazier instead of clearing up. I always close this discussion with the reccomendation to, which ever you use, a 3,4, or 5 field, to be consistant. Rich in LA CA --- David Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
