Bruce:
I'm fairly new to using Legacy so someone else may be able to answer
this better than I can but I know the system considers (at least in
the USA) the space before the first comma to be the city, before the
second comma to be the county, before the third comma to be the State
and after the third comma to be the country. IE. For 10 Main St.,
Anaheim, Orange, California, USA, "10 Main St." would be considered
to be the city, "Anaheim" would be considered to be the county,
"Orange" would be consider to be the State and "California" would be
considered to be the Country. If you have USA County Verification
turned on, when you enter with the comma between the street address
and city, you will always get an error message that says "There was
never a county by the name of Anaheim in the State of Orange." In
the Master Location List it would drop the USA and show it as
California being the Country, Orange being the State, etc. I'm sure
there's similar problems with reports and searching but I didn't try
since I realized right away that there was going to be a problem, I
just dropped the extra comma immediately.
If you come up with a better way to accomplish what you and I are
trying to do, let me know.
Thanks.

Cathy,
Thanks for the details of how your are entering address information.
Following your method does seem to avoid the problem of the Geo
Location List not functioning if you put in the address, which I
thought was the ONLY problem with entering the address in the location field.
What problems would I have if I DID put a comma between the street
name and the city?
Thanks,
Bruce

Tom:
I posted the initial question. After reading all the responses and
trying lots of ways, for the reasons you cited (mapping, showing on
all reports, can print 1 report showing all addresses, etc.), I am
now entering the street # and street name in the "Place"
field. Here's how I'm doing it:
1. Enter the city, county, etc. (not the street # and name) and use
Geo Location List (world globe on the right) to give it the correct
format and save that.
2. In the Family Screen add the street # and street name WITH NO
COMMA BETWEEN THE STREET NAME AND CITY otherwise it messes up the
structure and the system thinks the city is the county.
3. Map the individual which inserts the exact Longitude and
Latitude for this address.
It does create a new Master Location which shows at the top of the
ones in that city, but that's fine. From Master Location List you
can see everyone using that location. You can also tag all the
addresses in the city and print a report if you are going to the
area and wanted to take pictures of each location.
This accomplishes all I want and I haven't found a down side yet in
my playing around with reports, etc.

I'm a new member of this group and have been using legacy since V5
but only recently been able to concentrate significant time to
genealogy. I'm currently using V7 deluxe edition. This thread
subject has also puzzled me lately as I have been gathering more
address information from various sources. To date, I've been
entering address information from say a census, as a "Residence"
event using the "Description" field for the street address and the
"Place" field for the city, county, state, nation. I assumed that
was the proper way to do it because the software has no street
address provision in the Place field. The problem in doing it this
way, as noted in this thread. is that the street address does not
get into the master location list and therefore cannot be used with
the mapping feature or to create reports.
I tried Bruce McArthur's suggestion of entering the street address
in the master location list last night and it seems to work fine.
The mapping software can be used and I assume I'll be able to
create useful location reports e.g. a listing of all the West
Philadelphia address my relations lived in over the last
century. I'm therefore inclined to enter addresses this way from
now on. My question is; Is this the way the program is intended to
handle address"s (do all experienced users do it that way?) and, if
not, will I regret using it that way because of some unanticipated
consequence down the line?
In a related matter, I found that the mapping software often takes
me near to an address but not exactly to it and I have to manually
adjust even though Google earth itself has no problem finding the
address when I use it outside of Legacy. Is there a particular
format for entering an address into the master location list that
resolves that issue?
Sorry for the long post and thanks to all for your informative
posts, I'm learning a lot just by reading about all the various
issues you discuss! Tom McKeever, Austin, Texas

I have just started doing this, but for my addresses I
name the addresses in one of two patterns.
Smith, Joe house 1914-1942, using the first date and
last out for the group. Just a trry?
