If you follow the suggestions in "Getting It Right" by Mary H. Slawson, only the governmental jurisdictions will be included in the location field. Those are city/town, county, state and country.
Including more than that, separated by commas from the city/town (street address, city, county, state or cemetery name, city, county state) makes it impossible to properly sort locations in the Master Location List and the Expand/Contract Location Parts can't correctly do its job. I would put what you're referring to in Events - using the "Description" field for the cemetery name, street address, etc and any other information in the Notes (grave site, etc). The Event Sentence reads: He was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery at Dillon, Beaveryhead,Montana, United States on 29 Sept 2007" or He resided at 123 Main Street from 1958 to 1996 in City, County, State Of course you can always edit the Event Sentence Definition if you don't like the order they print out on. I know we should use the Event addresses for birth, bap/chr, death, burial, marriage, etc, but since that's not as useful as the Master Event when reporting, I prefer the event. I'd love to find out if the programmers are making the event addresses more useful for reports beyond a simple list of who uses it or creating a Search List to print a report from that list. Many people are happy with their detailed address or cemetery or building name in the locations - it's up to you but not everything will work correctly if you add that, separating with commas.
