Christine,I am in the same situation as you with most ancestors in England. You
just need to enter city, county and country. Many of us also place the street
address in the location field. If you only know the country and country don't
worry about inserting commas for the missing info. If you ony know the
registration district from bmd indices then enter that followed by the county
and country. Bear in mind that counties and registration districts have
changed over time.Hope this helpsChristine

div.yiv7172989408Section1 {}-->I am getting confused about entering place names
forcountries other than the United States . About 95% of my ancestors arefrom
England , the remainderfrom Canada . Do the same rules apply here for these
countries and do I need to add the comma(s)for unknown fields in order for
searches to work properly? Should everyplace name have four fields? For
instance, in England , would the order be City,Parish, County, Country? I have
tried using a gazetteer, but onlydistricts are mentioned, not parishes. Would
I use the district nameinstead? There are no parishes or counties for my
Canadian place namesand so do I leave that field blank and add a comma? Or
should I use communityboundaries, for instance, St. Boniface [community],
Winnipeg [city], Manitoba [province], Canada [country], the order being
smallest to largest? Ithought I had this straight in my head, but find I am
becoming more and moreconfused as I edit my tree and I am concerned that I may
be entering everythingwrong. Thanks for any suggestions. Christine
