Put the street address in the description of the residence event, and the city/town, county, etc in the Place field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
I think you are correct, Mary. The place field = location list and if you want to distinguish between specific places in a city (or county, for that matter, when you don't have a city involved) by putting a pin in each of them, then you have to have a way to distinguish between them in the location list. There are probably better ways to accomplish this, but I've been putting locations in like Seagraves - Cemetery, Gaines County, Texas and Seagraves - Walter Perry homestead, Gaines County, Texas. It requires a little work to manipulate the pins to the exact places I want them to be, but so far, it's been worth it to me to do it. It's actually sort of fun to be able tweak the map pins. I've also found some things I didn't know existed until I had to fool around with researching things that VE couldn't automatically find. I had no idea there was a Calfee Road in Montgomery County where my Calfee kin lived died until I had to search out where the cemetery pin needed to go. (I'll be darned!

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
Elizabeth, I have never run a Location Report and, like you, I include information in the location field which could include the parish, cemetery, road etc. and in the Location List have them read from right to left, so that each is easily found and compared. There have never been any problems and it works better with the VE mapping and, in my view, reads better in reports. Yes, I do have a long list of locations and also must have a 100+ for each of Eccles and St Helens, Lancashire, but so what? If the length of the list was limited then we could have a problem but realistically it isn't.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
I would hope you would consider sharing, at some later date, your research with Ancestry or Rootsweb or your local library genealogical research dept. and or your county Genealogical Society. Also please consider printing and leaving a copy or two for your family. Sometimes young family members don't become interested in their family history until they're older and have more time to reflect. While I agree about doing it for your own pleasure and interest, after the hundreds of hours of time and money invested in your hobby, it would be a shame for your work to be lost to future researchers. I have benefited so much from older generations who have added a bit here and there, the earlier data encouraged me to continue adding to the family history. I gather, source and format my research to my liking but I am going to share my results, on the off chance it might benefit someone down the road. Mary From: Bill Dennis My sentiments exactly.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
That is correct, Thomas. It does increase the number of locations that the program needs to keep track of. But it is a relational database and being of such design, it can keep track of them quite nicely. And... you can attach them to as many events, facts or people that you need to. I use the same approach that Ron uses and by putting the address in the location field, I don't have to click on the '+' every time I want to put the specific address that someone lived at during the 1910 census or the name of the church in which my grandparents were married back in 1914.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
John S. Adams wrote I don't usually bother with street addresses, but for Birth, Marriage, Death, Baptism, Burial, I also enter the name of the hospital, cemetery, church, etc. in the address field accessed by the + sign. The only problem I have with it is that when you include the address on a report, it shows up following the event as Address: Riverside Cemetery. The Address: lead-in annoys me, but I'll live with it. It doesn't appear that way on all reports - only the boxed ones like Individual. On the others you just get the address in brackets and if you enter the address with privacy brackets round the location parts you don't get repetition. I'm quite happy with that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
I joined this thread late so please forgive me as I try to understand. Entering cemeteries has been a dilmma for me too. Are you saying that in the individual information screen's field for in (as in buried in) you enter Oakwood Memorial Cemetery Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California? I thought that Legacy recommends entering Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California in that field and then entering Oakwood Memorial Cemetery in the filed burial address in the screen that opens up when you click on +. I personally prefer your method which I do use even though it does add many cemetery and similar non-town names to the master location list. I find the burial address screen somewhat redundent or overkill.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
The location (including burial) field is intended for city/town/village, county, state, country. The address field is used to identify more specific locations within a location, such as names of cemeteries, hospitals, etc. Placing address items within the location field (with or without a comma) greatly increases the number of locations that the program has to keep track of. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions What is the advantage of using the address option rather than just naming the cemetery itself in the Burial field?

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
For cemetery/burial addresses I use the address (+) fields. That way I can have a complete address with zip code along with GPS coordinates in the 2nd address field. If I have a headstone picture I create a cemetery event/fact and move the information to the event address fields (+). If you do not use an event/fact the headstone picture will not print on reports. Also the GPS coordinates will not print unless you add them to an address. It is also easy to list those people located in that cemetery. Just the way I do it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
Hi Everyone, We had a similar discussion to this a few weeks back so it just might be worth looking it up - especially but not exclusively for the U.K. users. It was called How do people record addresses in an 'event' and is about 8 pages back in the archive. I now write all my addresses in the location field, in full. It means that it's possible to use the mapping feature more accurately and when you go to the family view or the Individual's Information Events/Facts list, you can see the exact location at a glance in the Desc/Place/Notes column without having to open each event up and go to the address list. I now reserve the address list for current/ up-to-date addresses of people I might possibly want to write to or contact. Whether it is an 'event location' or a 'Born, Chr, Died, Buried etc' location I still record addresses in the same consistent way. I think everyone will have their own slightly different system but it might be worth taking a look at the archived posts mentioned above.

Are you saying that in the individual information screen's field for in (as in buried in) you enter Oakwood Memorial Cemetery Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California? Yes! I like to see where people were buried on the individual info screen, and this is a trade off from going into the burial address screen. This will give me a few more locations in the master location list, but this is not a problem. This saves a lot of key strokes and time. by leaving off the comma between cemetery and ciy it keeps the city, county, state consistent. I really haven't entered any new names for a long time and I entered all the burial addresses and GPS locations as was suggested a long time ago, so I really have the place of burial entered twice. Now I don't have to go looking for it. As far as entering the country is concerned, if they were born in the USA I leave it off. If it is out of the USA I entered the country. It works for me!

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
Jane, A number of us, particularly non-Americans, put it in the Location field and ignore the 4 location details (which don't work for us anyhow). BTW I have just realised you do not mention the country which is also important - and preferably do not use abbreviations as they mean different thins in different countries. If you are American you may find it better to use the Address Screen. At the end of the Burial field (or any of the vital Records) you will see a + click on this for the address screen. I am not entirely clear about about your second paragraph, but I suspect that you are trying to remove the detail and then save. As you have found, this cannot be done.

Jane, Since I am still a newbie and do to the fact that I still have a lot to learn, you have picked the right place for help. Welcome. The things that I did starting out were the following: 1. create a separate folder in your email to save all future to do's, comments about the program. I don't know how many times I have thought to myself, I know I have read something about this in the LUG mailings. 2. Check out the archives- it's a great place to review topics that have been discussed. and 3. purchase the PDF of the manual its great doesn't take up a lot of room and really cheap- I didn't think I would like the PDF style but I love it-I even purchased Evidence Explained PDF and have reviewed it for source's a lot of times- hope this helps, Shelly Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
Jane, we all had to learn these: For cemeteries and churches, I use the + sign after the burial and baptism fields that leads to the address list and enter it there. Don't know if this is how most people do it. For marriages I have to make an event called Marriage location and then put the church, etc, in the description field and the town, county, etc in the Place field. I do that for census info also. Ex: Residence, 1930, (desc:) at 253 Railroad Avenue in the town of (place:) High Falls, Ulster Co., New York, USA.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
I don't usually bother with street addresses, but for Birth, Marriage, Death, Baptism, Burial, I also enter the name of the hospital, cemetery, church, etc. in the address field accessed by the + sign. The only problem I have with it is that when you include the address on a report, it shows up following the event as Address: Riverside Cemetery. The Address: lead-in annoys me, but I'll live with it. Elsie, you don't have to enter a marriage location event to record the marriage address. From the marriage screen, click on the house icon at the top and a screen will open where you can enter marriage address info. Don't know why this couldn't be somehow standardized with the Birth and Death address methods. Hope this helps. John S. Adams Hermosa Beach, CA Just another day in paradise. From: Elsie Saar Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 1:39 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions For cemeteries and churches, I use the + sign after the burial and baptism fields that leads to the address list and enter it there. Don't know if this is how most people do it. For marriages I have to make an event called Marriage location and then put the church, etc, in the description field and the town, county, etc in the Place field. I do that for census info also.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
It isn't there directly. There is the reccomended way which is to use the attached address page, but I don't use it yet, so have not dealt with it, I am still using my old method, which is to include a cemetery as the 'town', and in my location notes for the cemetery include the address and town that it is in or near. The nice thing is that either method can be 'corrected' to what you will want next.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
Hi Jane, I have any number of location entries with 5 or more fields, such as: Oakwood Memorial Cemetery, Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California, USA I've also found that http://lat-long.com/ is very good for finding Latitude and Longitude for locations such as above and then open the location for edit, copy and paste the numbers into the appropriate places and save. Virtual Earth goes right to it. http://lat-long.com/ only works for the U.S. but there are others that work elsewhere. But the point is, you are not limited to 4 fields.
