No that isn't what I am talking about. I have the name
Green Ridge Cemetery
by the person who died and everytime I get out of that
particular person it
says the cemetery does not exist. This cemetery is very
large in downtown
Kenosha, WI. It should be in your program. What you told
me did not make
any sense to me. I have gone into the name and put in
decendent. Then I
don't know where to go from there.

Ron,
For some reason Legacy does not have the cemetery in
Kenosha, WI. When I
put in the name and where they are buried it keeps telling
me that there is
no such cemetery. The name of the cemetery is Green Ridge
and it is in
downtown Kenosha, WI. It should be fixed in your program.

And I've only just got up so my brain is not yet in
gear, but I think the
answer to your question is "yes", at least to
some extent.
I think the default sentence for the description field is
"at [Desc]". Take
the Residence Event as an example, it reads "[He/She]
at [Desc]". Without
changing the default, only the contents of the Description
field, it can be
made to read eg. "He resided at 'birth'
", "He resided at 'birth in London
Hospital' ", He resided at 'census'
", where the bit in single quotes is
what is included in the description field. These are not
particularly good
examples but, I think, make the point.
If this is not what you meant please come back to us.

I've had a long day and perhaps I am misunderstanding
you, but you CAN
design the sentence to read differently if the description
field is filled
than when it isn't.
