When I used FTM I put my addresses like this with the "street/cemetery,
city, county, state, USA". Then when i converted to Legacy I read and
watched the videos and decided i should do it how Legacy does and
stopped putting the street or cemetery name in the description.
I slowly started moving existing entries taking out the street address
or cemetery line in the location field and moving it to and address.
I am not sure I like the output.
Can anyone especially the Legacy people who suggest not putting in the
street/cemetery info in the location field give me some things I need
watch out for or reasons NOT put the street/cemetery in the field?
I am thinking of going back the other way as I see so many others doing
this. What are the issues with putting all the info in the location field?
I am not trying to give anyone a hard time .... just trying to
understand the Pros and Cons especially before switching back.
I would appreciate any and all constructive comments pro and con
thanks

Bill,
An entry like this:
3553 SW Adams Street, Peoria, Peoria, Illinois, USA
will take you directly to the location that I used to live at in the 1930's.
It wont show the house, because it don't exist any more, and your notes can
show name changes. The street was called S. Adams then.

ks 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.
