Hi Robert, I was aware that I could put just about anything that I wanted into the location field -- but as you say, GEO wouldn't always find it. I was trying to enter it in a way that GEO would find it and that I could, at some point, map it. I've now properly entered it and GEO found it.
I should also go back and re-read the difference between "Core" and "Core +" locations in GEO -- that confuses me as well. Thanks for the input and help, Brian (the 3rd?

But you can enter more than that if you want. GEO just will not find it. You could enter something like (and I am exaggerating): Brownsville, Apple Parish, Northern Earth, Countryside, England, Earth If you want to. That is six parts. Will GEO find that? Not by a long shot, but it works. Some people use a location like this: Palestine Cemetery, Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky, USA Yes it works, but it won't sort properly with the other locations, so I alter that a little bit. Instead I use: Palestine Cemetery, McCracken County, Kentucky, USA And that is also four parts. This is personal preferance, but to me anyway, Great Britain includes England, Ireland, & Scotland. By avoiding "Great Britain" and using either England, Ireland, or Scotland instead, you pretty much narrow down the area. I *try* to avoid using "Great Britain" for that reason. But it comes down to this: What do *you* prefer? Decide and use that. You didn't ask but for that census you provided, I would use (Again this is personal preferance): Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church Chatburn, Civil Parish of Chatburn, Lancaster, England. But that is entirely up to you. Does this help?
