Alan, if you put the info in the location field, your location master
list will look like:
Easton, Lehigh Co, PA, USA
Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA, USA
St. Luke's Cemetery/867 Mervin Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, USA
You will have the Cemetery or Street address in the place of the city
and everything else moved out from there. It will be difficult to
merge things and have things consistent. I use the Event Address to
save that info. However, there is no way to note the Church name and
address in the Marriage view unless it is put in as a marriage event.
I wish that were changed.

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.

from Location
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.
