Hopefully, I will not sound too harsh, but my genealogical research goals do not include anything about the size of my Location list.
I think the Location AKA could work just like the Name AKA does, including how it looks in lists. If you want to use AKA's, you want to see them, too. And thinking a bit on this particular case: All the "old" names for the location would have the same "present day" AKA, so that's really only adding one. (well, at least that's how I would use it) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Jerry <jerrysemailgro...@gmail.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sun, February 5, 2012 2:27:30 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Event Locations Yes, Michele, but you don't have to "mess up" your master location list to do that. You can accomplish the same thing with the note fields adjacent to location. Sorry, but I don't think I could ever be convinced to put seven different location names for the exact same spot on the map when the note field will work for that. It is time for the gedcom standard to be updated to match computer technology. Both the aka location and latititde/longitude ideas seem worthy of consideration. Thanks for listening.
