Thanks for the tips. I really don't like the mapping feature anyway because, as you said, you can't plot the entire house number and street. I really don't care about the city unless to just verify that it ever existed. I am not going to move the addresses, but already moved a few cemetery names--one for more than 200 people buried there.

Also check out how the information displays within Legacy - especially the mapping feature. I prefer to have the full address in the location field and also include the cemetery name in the burial location field. Others on this list do the same. It seems to me a terrible waste of the mapping feature to only plot a town when you could plot the exact location. As far as I know, entering a full address or a cemetery name in the location field does not cause any problems. One of the things I like about Legacy is that there is often more than one way to do something and you can find the way that you like best. Linda On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 1:54 PM, William H.
