I do not now use the Event Address feature because I don't like the way it shows up in Reports. I put the full address in the Location field and an abbreviated version in the Short Location which I can use when it suits. An example of a long location is "Rising Sun Inn, Mitcham Road, Tooting Graveney, Middlesex, England" and the short version would be "Mitcham Rd, Tooting Graveney, MDX." > > One other thing, when using the English/Welsh birth, marriage, death > registers you have a place of say, Rochford, Essex, England as a > register of birth/marriage/death as this is the registry district but it > may well be they were born in, say, Hawkwell as its a village wouldnt be > a registry district.

If the only information I have about birthplace is the Registration District then that is what I enter as the Location - long version would be Rochford Registration District and short version would be Rochford RD. I don't put the country for RDs although I do for all other long locations and I don't put the county - and would advise you against doing so - because RDs often do not fall within county boundaries but span 2 counties. Once I know more precisely where the person was born/married/died, that is the information I will change the Location to reflect the more exact data I now have. However, I will now have 2 Sources for, say, Birthplace, and one of them will be the Birth Index and will show the Registration District. The other might be a Census and will show what was entered thereon as Place of Birth. I have lots of Birth entries where the Date is in the form December Q 1850 and the Location is in the form "Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England" and there are 2 Sources, a Birth Index and a Census. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
