I had the book mentioned above and gave it away, however I have quite a bookshelf with genealogy books, that suggest as Sherry mentions as far as location entries. Personally the balance of the information are put in events or at least notes. Looking through the archives, I found and like the entry by Brian Lightfoot. "Tool to Uniformly Format Places" 6/7/2010. I was looking for how others were entering Location Locations. -- //Nut > > Sincerely, > Sherry > Technical Support > Legacy Family Tree > > > On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 6:32 PM, Tony Rolfe<geneal...@gillandtony.com> wrote: >> >On 04 November 2012 00:46 Sherry/Support said: >> > >> >"If you put the cemetery name in the location field (which we don't >> >recommend for several reasons)" >> > >> >Sherry, can you please clarify this? >> > >> >I have all details in locations.
