Dean, Using the Event Addresses is, for me, better than adding addresses to notes. For one thing, you only have to enter the address once no matter how many people use it and, second, you can choose to print it or not print it on reports. I use the [[ ]] in the Event Addresses so that only the address prints and the cemetery name is not repeated.
