Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Momalot, Had you thought about looking at an atlas?? I did and Benton also a Benton Station are north east of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have found it helps to look at an atlas in situations such as this one you have.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
What do you think should happen? As far as I know, it works the same wherever, but some countries have apparently more distinct locations, and use more or less fields to define them. So using four fields for USA places, forces me to make most of my Europe ones have a blank field in the middle.

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. That lead to the story which I greatly enjoyed and to more of Washington Irving's stories because of his excellent vocabulary.

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
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.

Ron, I seem to have missed the point here. I have locations any where from three to six fields. They're entered exactly as they appear.. Will this cause problems?

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo locations
Ron, Your previous post strongly implied that if there were spaces then the location was incomplete. Yes, it did. What I'm trying to say is that the appearance of the address with two commas, to an outsider, one who has no knowledge of Legacy, the Geo Locator facility or British geography, could easily wonder what was supposed to go or had originally been between the two commas. I know I did. I've seen double commas with French, German and Dutch trees and to me it looks like someone hasn't bothered to complete the address. When checking out the town name in Google, I'll often come across a more complete address. All I'm saying really is that double commas can cast a shadow on the credibility of the tree owner. Yes, I always check any trees I might find on line but when there's a choice of two or three, I'll chose the one that appears the most credible. And if the credibility is 100%, then I'll write and offer everything I have that ties in with that tree. I simply enter the place name as is and the number of fields be damned. BTW London is London, England - and because I'm more or less from Manchester that is Manchester, England as befits our second city ;-). Strange, I always thought it was the Pool.

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
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...

Helen Most of the USA has townships subdividing the counties, but they are seldom noted in locations except for legal description of real property. When appropriate or required I use the abreviation 'Twp.'. I normally use the 'city, county, state, USA' convention within the USA, except in those cases where a city does not have a county and some other special cases like 'Washington, District of Columbia, USA' - there is no county involved in D.C., which is technichally not a state either. And I try to use the local convention in non USA locations. I'll let someone from OZ give the conventions there. With grandparents from Australia, England and from Illinois before most of the counties were formed it is being quite an education.

Ron - Wow, I'm impressed that Legacy has covered the world. Sadly though, I know now why I've never used the Geo Location facility. 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.

Paul C. Abell wrote 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 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?

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.

For foreign countries use the three-letter nation acronym, such as GER for Germany (usually the first three letters of any foreign country). If you do click on the cross at the end of the location line you will see the options of address, notes, or pictures. The address means the exact street address; notes are for such comments (consider that the major notes option, such as the name of a birth hospital or cemetery name, etc.). The down arrow at the end of the location line refers to seeing total location data (lets you see if you can verify or combine duplicates, etc.). I won't step more into master lists now nor in our first meeting. Let me know if any of this is still not clear and helpful (may just call 535-3618?) Sorry that I was not more clear in the beginning.

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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo Locations Database
To start, I think I did not make sufficiently clear that I was addressing concerns about learning the IGS Marriage record Indexing task (Shirley Fields said you were working at it). I did not mean to refer to anything about Legacy. Okay, now to your concern about the Legacy geography function. First it is crucial to input all locations as city-comma, county-comma, state-comma. Example: Terre Haute,Vigo,IN. in all location spaces. Do not enter anything more or less there. If you do not know one of the three slots (city,county,state you must enter it this way: Terre Haute,,IN. If the location data is entered that way, Legacy will first ask if you are comfortable with the spellings that you entered. Assuming yes...you click on the globe at the right end of the location line to see what the US atlas says will fill in blanks for you according the to date you have for that location. It would advise Knox for the county before it became Vigo, etc. It will actually show you several lines with that information (more than I should address here beyond saying that we will focus on this and other basic functions at our first LUG meeting Jan 27. However, I will briefly mention that I urge folks to use postal office two-letters for the state to save space in printing forms, etc. and I never use the USA if the address is USA. For foreign countries use the three-letter nation acronym, such as GER for Germany (usually the first three letters of any foreign country). If you do click on the cross at the end of the location line you will see the options of address, notes, or pictures. The address means the exact street address; notes are for such comments (consider that the major notes option, such as the name of a birth hospital or cemetery name, etc.). The down arrow at the end of the location line refers to seeing total location data (lets you see if you can verify or combine duplicates, etc.). I won't step more into master lists now nor in our first meeting. Let me know if any of this is still not clear and helpful (may just call 535-3618?) Sorry that I was not more clear in the beginning.

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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Geo Locations Database
Loran, There is no must about any of this. There are many of us who do not use the system you outline for a variety of reasons. We may not like many commas in reports or on websites. The format may not suit the countries we live in (we are not all from the USA). If our way does not suit certain facilities the so be it. We prefer not to use them - or find a work around and often one can. Finally, the way we maintain our data is our choice, they way in which we utilise Legacy and other programs is our choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] GEO Locations: Proper state entry?
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. Chap [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 8/12/06, Robert Carneal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I hope I do not start a combative thread on what's best but my query is aimed at those of use with GEO files. Suppose you have an ancestor in Colorado. You do not know the county, nor know the town/city where the ancestor died. Given that GEO uses four columns of data for locations, how are you entering this? Are you saying Colorado, Colorado, Colorado, USA ? I think that is a little misleading, because GEO tries to use Colorado as a city, and also as a state. What about , , Colorado, USA ? Does that work for you?
