even in the USA the software is only set up for generic .... our country is divided up by ward, city, county, state and if it is rural it is section, township, county, state ... you just have to put comma in so your report looks just fine then.... even cemeteries had sections in them to tell you were to look for the resting place so just work with it for your needs.... If you ask 10 people what they do you will get 10 answers because each family tree is unique.... that means millions of unique trees ....even the places legacy asks for a description you have to see what verb they are using and then write it accordingly so it reads as you want in the report you plan to use....now mind you there is a way legacy will advise but it doesn't always fit you family tree and there isn't another software out there that will answer everyones needs so I will just chug along with this excellent legacy software for its better than some other software I have used Richard > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] UK customisations> Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:07:44 +0100> > > Kaled,> > Sorry, the example I gave should have read "England, Lancashire, Salford, Eccles, Winton". Also many locations would not have a city which is used in the 4 field convention - and I hate multiple commas in locations!

Enter in the Location Field what you believe to be the correct location in full.> >> > Then go to View>Master Lists>Locations>Sort and change the direction of sort to "Right to left". Thus when looking for a location it can easily be found eg. Country, County, Town, District, locality - England, Salford, Eccles, Winton. I also add the the house into this eg. "303 Eccles New Road" and only use the Address function for living people - before the pedants jump in, I stress that this is a personal choice but I Find it helps when using the mapping function.> >> > Note also that there are source templates for parts of the UK so when sourcing for a template put the country in the search box.
