You end up with something like "Jenny was baptized in Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England (Christ Church, Christ Church Road, Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England) or "Jenny was baptized in Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England (Christ Church, Christchurch Road.)
The latter is slightly preferable, but means you have a long list of rather meaningless addresses, comprising just street addresses without town, county, (state) or country. I much prefer to see "Jenny was baptized at Christ Church, Christ Church Road, Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England". I think if only the programmers would enable us to print in all Reports photos attached "behind the + sign" everyone would be satisfied. -- 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
