Brett,
My preference for using the Location Field for house/Street/town is quite
well known, however, I do not when it comes to Sources, such as Libraries,
Hospitals, Public Records etc..
For these I use the Address fields. The reason being that when I create
webpages there is a section there which enables one to include Repositories
in the Source, and this uses the Address List to get the details.
Thus if, for example, a hospital is used both as a location for the place of
death and a Source for the information then I would include the details in
both the Location and the Address fields.

Hi Mary
I use location for town/city - where you may find a group of
relatives, and where there are libraries/hospitals/public records.
You may want to find out who was living there, or what reserch you
can do there.
I use address for a building or a site - eg residential house, a
hospital, a cemetery. You may want to find all the things that
happened at that address.
Cheers, Brett

Subject: [LegacyUG] RE: address list or location list??
Hi! I'm sure most of you can guess that I'm a new user by this
question - can anyone explain to me when I should use a location and
when I should use an address? I'm having a little trouble
understanding the differences and where my GPS and location/address
notes should go. It seems like I've been doing it a bit differently
on every individual and I think I better regroup before I get too
far along.
Thanks for any and all assistance.
Mary
