My main point was that there is no single place in Legacy that deals with migration patterns of ancestors. I believe that this information is very important if someone wants to understand such issues. Therefore, having a complete history of locations and addresses of individuals throughout their lifetime (in one place) can be created through an "broad" Event, such as Residence History. In one "click" on your mouse or in a print out of an individual's genealogy data, you can see "at-a-glance" the most important information summarize appropriately. You can then compare such migration information to other family members, etc. Patterns will emerge that will enable you to write a great family story. It would be great if Legacy could develop a migration capability so that we all could see a migration pattern plotting chart. It would be also interesting to overlay one individual's migration pattern on to other family members information. Hence, one could view a complete family's migration history. Any thoughts?

Which is why I use Location Fields and not the Address Fields in the Address Book.
