Bob,
I've tried it everyway imaginable, including your method below. I'm suing the event addresses rather than including local site information in a location name because of how it looks in reports. Your method looks great in reports but it lacks any information another researcher may need to find the local site (cemetery, etc). If you use the event addresses and select that the addresses be printed in reports the output is excellent. The Location (town, county, state, country) is given and immediately below it is the local site name with full address, telephone number, etc. Gives other researchers real information on the site.

I have a feeling my cemeteries and churches should be in the event addresses instead of the location field, but I can't see how then I could easily see all churches/cemeteries/etc I have entered for a given location (county or township). Is there a way to do that?
Thanks, Lisa
My way of doing this may be unorthodox, but works very well for me.
My home town as an unqualified location is entered in the location list as
Naples, Ontario, NY, USA
with the short name entered as
Naples, NY.
A cemetery within Naples is entered as:
Naples (Rose Ridge Cemetery), Ontario, NY, USA
with the short name entered as
Rose Ridge Cemetery, Naples, NY.
I do the same with street addresses:
Naples (Thrall Street), Ontario, NY, USA
with the short name entered as
Thrall Street, Naples, NY.
Doing this sorts all entries for Naples together no matter what fields you are sorting on.
