I'm not sure if parishes are broken into smaller pieces or not. Personally, I only use townships when I don't know a city/town/village/etc. or if they lived out in the boonies and city/town doesn't apply.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
IN the USA - you have States - Counties - then it can get odd. In the East you have Townships and Boroughs - but within the townships you often have Villages -- for example Maytown is a village within East Donegal Township, Lancaster County. In Delaware - we have "hundreds" - a leftover from colonial days - areas that (at the time) contained 100 families. We have no townships. Cities are usually separated from the townships. In the WEST - you can have sections using a system of township and range numbers. In short - the 4 system does not work as well as many think - even in the US! But is can be worked with... I often list Township [Village name], County, State, USA or City (or borough), County, State, USA .

Which town? and a name of a person? Maybe I know someone. Elizabeth C GeoSci wrote: Careful - there are other reasons for blanks in the middle - not just because someone "hasn't done his homework" or is "too lazy".

Keith On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 4:13 PM, wrote: So using four fields for USA places, forces me to make most of my Europe ones have a blank field in the middle. What's wrong with using Google? If I'm working in a foreign country, Google is always open and minimized so it's handy to explore where my ancestors came from and have the correct name, township, county, province, state, canton, country, etc. for each person. It also indicates someone who hasn't done his homework when there's a blank space, and even when the "middle" location is provided, using Google will check to see if it's correct. I've caught several errors that way and when discovered for someone whose dates are in the 1700s or before, I don't go any further with that tree because it's obvious that either they've copied the data from someone else or are too lazy to ensure the accuracy of their work. There are so many misinformed trees on the Net that if/when I put mine in a public spot, I want it to be as accurate and credible as I can make it. Using Google too can be a great learning experience. I recently discovered some ancestors from Sleepy Hollow. Googled it and had a wonderful look around. That lead to the story which I greatly enjoyed and to more of Washington Irving's stories because of his excellent vocabulary.

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Seems, like we are pretty much in agreement (apart from the Pool), I think you will have gathered that I do more or less the same as yourself. With some, the problem of comma/space/comma arises through trying to make a location fit a pattern which wasn't designed with our (and other) locations in mind, because they think this is how it should be done, rather than through lack of care. Personally I use your approach of entering the location as accurately as I can and pay little or no interest to a synthetic convention.

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Helen, Your previous post strongly implied that if there were spaces then the location was incomplete. Let us us take "Eccles, Lancashire, England" as an example. That location is accurate and complete. If I try and use the geo locator then it will return "Eccles,,Lancashire, England" implying the county is omitted when it is not - "Lancashire" is the county. In other words the American system does not work for us. I enter the correct location (in actual fact since it doesn't comply anyhow, I also add the road) no matter how many fields it has. I have absolutely no problem with this provided I choose not to select the location as determined by the geo locator and only use it as a guide as to where the place is. The Mapping is fine, and in my view more accurate than when I don't include the road name. BTW London is "London, England" - and because I'm more or less from Manchester that is "Manchester, England" as befits our second city ;-).

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Helen, It is *not* because people haven't done their homework that there are frequently locations with less than 4 fields in Europe. It is because we are not American, and our locations do not fit American conventions, neither historically nor now.

I don't think it indicates any such thing. I intentionally leave the blanks in between commas, because I like having everything "standardized", if you know what I mean. Also, they don't hurt anything, since you can set up your reports to omit them anyway. Besides, you shouldn't depend on anyone else's data to be correct. The best you can hope for is that other people's work might provide you clues to point you in the right direction. You should always verify your own info.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Careful - there are other reasons for blanks in the middle - not just because someone "hasn't done his homework" or is "too lazy". I have several persons from (according to sources) a certain town in Pennsylvania - but - even with Google - I cannot figure out the County since the town exists in several different Counties.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
>So using four fields for USA places, forces me to make most of my Europe ones >have a blank field in the middle. What's wrong with using Google? If I'm working in a foreign country, Google is always open and minimized so it's handy to explore where my ancestors came from and have the correct name, township, county, province, state, canton, country, etc. for each person. It also indicates someone who hasn't done his homework when there's a blank space, and even when the "middle" location is provided, using Google will check to see if it's correct. I've caught several errors that way and when discovered for someone whose dates are in the 1700s or before, I don't go any further with that tree because it's obvious that either they've copied the data from someone else or are too lazy to ensure the accuracy of their work. There are so many misinformed trees on the Net that if/when I put mine in a public spot, I want it to be as accurate and credible as I can make it. Using Google too can be a great learning experience. I recently discovered some ancestors from Sleepy Hollow. Googled it and had a wonderful look around.

I must thank Legacy for preparing one for Canada however the great majority of my Canadian ancestors were born in the country, not in cities, where their birth or death location mighty read - Louth Township, Lincoln County, Ontario. One could add a lot and concession number to be even more specific. In the early days of Canadian genealogy, there were no cities. There wasn't even Ontario or Quebec until after 1867. Now I remember it all. I did download the Canadian Geo Location file a few versions ago and deleted it for lack of counties and townships, as city locations are no problem and rarely needed.. It would be a major task to detail Canadian locations but Legacy has at least made the effort for which it deserves credit.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Just added an UNLINKED PERSON to test this for you... listed him as born in Benton, , Illinois, USA -- and clicked on the GLOBE. The GEO LOCATIONS system listed "Benton, Franklin, Illinois, USA" as proper. I double clicked on it - and changed the Benton, , Illinois, USA to Benton, Franklin, Illinois, USA and made the "SHORT" name Benton, IL and clicked save. It now reads correctly - and - if I go to a map - shows it just east of West City near I-57 Illinois. Seems to work fine!

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo Locations Database
Hi Loran, Actually I do put the country at the end of the full address but omit it from the shorter, this is to make it clear that the Manchester I live in is the one with the soccer team rather than the one in the States :). I use the longer address when publishing. What I really do not like though is a row of commas in an address so I do not use "place holders", nor does it cause me problems. I have said many times on these pages that the great thing about Legacy is its flexibility which in some ways allows the output to reflect the personality of the author/compiler of the data. I guess that what I was saying in my rather blunt northern English way (and brought up in the sciences) was that the important factors are accuracy and clarity and the method of storing and compiling the information is the individual's preference.

Wow, Ron. I sure did not mean to infer that my way is the only way nor that anyone should try my way no matter how well tested successfully. I do not add USA to my address lines merely to save space; when I have an address for other nations I use a three-letter ending, such as KOR or GER, but most of my direct line back to 1755 is USA and I assume that.

Abell wrote Jenny, Not only for other researchers, but in the days before computers, genealogists tended to be more precise with all their forms and research. Using the country was accepted as an unwritten standard. The nice thing is that Legacy handles all those things I was taught as "unwritten standards". Makes you wonder if that as intentional. I think with the internet enticing so much more interest in genealogy, we have seen a new generation of people that want to record all data as they see fit and cast off all previous "norms". One of the reasons I prefer Legacy is the ability to bring the old pre-computer day "standards" of doing things into the computer age. Paul I too always use the country name and full state and county names. My reason is that when I first started out learning about genealogy I read this was the correct thing to do because although I might *know* that a certain place was in England or know what abbreviations indicated, other researchers (or anyone else) might *not* and it was therefore important to be precise. -- Jenny M Benson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo Locations Database
Loran, I always use the country. For the example you give, I would use Terr Haute, Vigo, Indiana, USA. My reason for this is to keep everything consistent. Also, I use the full name of the state. I was directed to do it this way years ago by a genealogist that would be well over 100 if she were still alive. She was very meticulous in how the data was kept. I think I learned from a perfectionist. Sometimes, I think it ridiculous, but I still do it all the way I was taught and this was before computers. Anyway, I like everything to be consistent. If using the country for one country and not another is, to me, inconsistent. Just another humble opinion. There are so many variations in the way people do things.

"9zenic View, , British Columbia, Canada" and "30 Decembrie, , , România" don't LOOK like places, to me, but perhaps they are? Thanks for your response. You can't edit the Geo Locations Database. However, I don't understand what you're referring to about dates? There are only locations and coordinates in the Geo Location Database and nothing in French (except the Names of the towns and provinces) Thanks for using Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] GEO Locations: Proper state entry?
Leon- You are right. I had forgotten about the option to remove leading commas. Thanks.

Normally you would enter the following: ,, Colorado, USA You use the commas to separte the fields - if you have no information for the field, leave it blank. The format is normally: City, County, State, Country If you know only 2 of them, here would be some examples: Perry,,Oklahoma, USA -- you don't know county, but Geo could fill it in for you. , Tulsa Co, Oklahoma, USA -- You don't know the city ,,,USA -- the only information you have is Country In reports options, you can have it remove all the leading ,s so they do not show up.
