I have always understood that the Parish was one of the most important location identities around but I have not seen this mentioned as a viable location (entry)? I have used the little freeware application "Parish Locator" for a long time and many of my Britain locations include this info. A goodly number of my ancestors were buried in the Parish graveyards and I should think it would be important to include......

Tom M......

If interested in Parish Locater it can be downloaded for free, is very stable and most useful....complements the Geo. No guarantees on my part but appears to be virus free....... I have never had any sort of problem. http://www.parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ParLoc.htm

Ron,

To define location as you do presupposes that genealogy is totally based in
USA. I don't believe that many people in the UK (or other countries) would
wish to insert that extra comma between town/city and county. It looks
meaningless on any report produced. OK that is how the Geo database holds
it, but that doesn't make it correct, just reinforces that the database is
US centric.


Maybe I am breaking hallowed rules, but for UK locations I use village,
town, county, country or town, county, country. Of course that means I can't
easily find all locations in villages around a larger town and would welcome
suggestions for improving the ability to search - but I hate adding
meaningless commas!


Jack

John,

A location is city, county, state, country.
Data from your example would be "Manchester, , Lancashire, England" as
found in the Geo database.
