This note pertains to a bit of history, geography and using Legacy to enter the
info. I want to clearly designate the difference between the locations of
church events such as baptism and burial and the civil events such as birth and
death.
Adding to what Jenny has said:
Civil events - I use the name of the Registration District with a suffix of RD.
Occasionally, I'll add the county as well. For example, I have relatives born
and bred in Wiveton in Norfolk, England. For Civil Events. I would use
Walsingham RD or Walsingham RD, Norfolk. I will, sometimes, add the parish, so
that I get Wiveton, Walsingham RD, Norfolk. This is used for Births, Marriages
and Deaths.
Church events - generally follow a standard of parish, village, county, country.
Hence: St Mary the Virgin, Wiveton, Norfolk, England. This gets used for
baptisms/christenings, marriages and burials.
Censuses - a slightly different standard that follows what is recorded for each
census: place, county, country. Sometimes in the larger towns or cities, I would
add a civil parish (again taken from the census).
Rule 1: NEVER USER ABBREVIATIONS!
