John et al, I have been entering burial locations in the "Buried" field as, for example "Oshkosh, Winnebago, Wisconsin - Lake View Memorial Park", then for short location name write "Lake View Memorial Park in Oshkosh, Wisconsin". I have found this makes locating burials in the same place easy to find in the Master Location List.
After reading your post, I do like the idea of being able to record the street address in the Burial Address field. However, I ran a few test reports (Individual, Family Group, Narrative, making sure the Report Options>Include tab is checked, and the street address does not print in any of the reports. Any idea why this might be? Christine -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John S.

I enter the cemetery name in the Name field of the Burial Address and it shows on the Individual Report as (for example): "Burial Date: 20 Jan 1979 Place: Whittier, CA Addr: Rose Hills Memorial Park" and in a book report as: "...was buried on 20 Jan 1979 in Whittier, CA (Rose Hills Memorial Park)." Hope this helps. John S.
