Does not Events/Facts appear in reports? If so, I have found creating an Event called
"Residence History" is a great way to see the migration patterns of your
ancestors over time. In this Event, I list all known addresses by year, including those
locations/addresses at birth, marriage, and death as well as those in Census Records,
Naturalization Records, etc. Its all in one place in an easy understandable format. This
does not mean I don't record addresses/locations in specific records. I do. However, I
don't know of any way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors locations/addresses
over his/her lifetime in one place.

Bill,
I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this one!
Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for
living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I
include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from
England).
Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also
find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the
Location Field.
Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved,
I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

I know this is going to be
confusing which is why I can't find it in the
Help of Legacy. I looked at
a tutorial online at the Legacy website and found that it was recommended
that cemetery names be moved from the Buried field leaving only the city
and state. A spent a long time putting them there in FTM 2009 because it
seemed appropriate, but I can understand why they shouldn't be there
now.
Multiple Questions on this
one:
1) I tagged all the
cemeteries that need to have their name moved by clicking on the plus
sign. Is there a way I can first show all the tagged items and start
moving cemetery names from there. I can't find anything within the program
that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point of tagging if you
can't?
2) Should this be
done for all locations including residences where the person lived? I have
a
lot of those and just started, but didn't finish because I don't want to have
to revert back with hundreds of them.
3) Are mailing list
addresses just for living people or residences where the person lived (i.e.,
census, death notices, etc.). This question kind of goes with item
2.
4) Master List
Location list: only city and state?
I'm finding this very
confusing. I think I'm going to have to purchase and download the PDF
manual then read the entire thing.
