That's very clever of you if most of your locations are in the UK! >I have been trying to use the Event Addresses for >births/christenings/marriages/deaths/burials to add specific places >(churches, cemeteries, hospitals, street addresses for places of birth >and death) but I have a few problems: > >1.
