I don't usually use the burial address section as several of the reports
don't let you add address for burial in the report - making it an incomplete
report as far as I'm concerned.
Also I like seeing it on my main screen - easy to see when a husband and
wife are buried in different cemeteries.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses
I've a question to all who place the cemetery name into the Location
field: why don't you use the Burial Address section?
I use the Burial Address section and when I want to see who I have buried
in a specific cemetery, I can go into Burial Address -> Address List.
Then I select a specific cemetery, click on the Show List button and then
click on the Print button. Then when I go to the cemetery to take
photographs, I have the list of everyone I need to find. If I want
several cemeteries, I can tag them and print those tagged lists.
Also, once I've placed a cemetery into the Burial List, I can call it up
from the Address List and I don't have to recreate the name and address
over and over again. I can also add the cemetery's phone number, GPS
coordinates, web address and additional information in the cemetery's
notes fields (i.e., directions on getting there or notes on how old the
cemetery is.)
I realize that different people have different styles, but I was curious
as to why you would prefer placing cemetery names into a location field
and getting reports that way as opposed to using the cemetery burial
address field which allows for so much more.
Just curious.

Here is how I use the four fields to keep my city, county, state, country
organized:
1. Always use the 4 fields inserting commas if you are missing data.
2. Handle Cemeteries, Churches, etc by using a "-"
Here is an example:
Cemetery: Porter Cemetery
City: Wichita
County: Sedgwick
State: Kansas
Country: USA
Wichita - Porter Cemetery, Sedgrwck County, Kansas, USA
Notice the four fields are separated with commas.
You can do the same with Churches.
Doing it this way, you always have the Churchs and Cemeteries sorted by
their City, County, State, Country.
Try it, you might like it.
