I have 170 Glasgow addresses in my Master Locations List and intend to
map them all!  Should be fun and maybe revealing too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[Penny]

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!  How about that?! )

If you do that, it's my understanding you can only map to the town
itself, not the exact street address(es).  Or am I wrong??

Put the street address in the description of the residence event, and
the city/town, county, etc in the Place field.   It doesn't increase
your location list, and is shown correctly in the sentace created by
Legacy by default.

Jenny,

Yes and Yes! But not something which I regard as being tremendously important. 
For the number of times I have the actual house/hospital etc where somebody was 
born it's easy enough to change.

True, except in the case of planning to publish your work in one of the 
professional journals. 
If that is the case, it then behooves one to determine the formats said journal 
requires before hand and enter data accordingly rather than have to re-do 
everything later.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[M. Brenzel]

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.

Tom,

There is absolutely nothing which says that this *has* to be the case. This
limitation is only suggested because American Geo-locations use that format.
Legacy is international.

I put the full address in the Location Field and only use the Address Fields
for current names and addresses etc.

My sentiments exactly. No one in my family has any interest in genealogy, 
so all my work will probably be lost.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[Mary Fowler Leek]

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.

I have never gotten straight what the address fields were for.  I had

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[ronald ferguson]

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.

This may not interest you, and I can't think of a reason for it myself, 
but one of the perks for putting your addresses in the address fields is 
that you can print labels with them.  This includes events and 
repository addresses as well as contact addresses for living people.

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!

 Bill

It's easier for the program to keep track of addresses than locations?

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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[ronald ferguson]

Tom,

There is absolutely nothing which says that this *has* to be the case. This 
limitation is only suggested because American Geo-locations use that format. 
Legacy is international.

I put the full address in the Location Field and only use the Address Fields 
for current names and addresses etc.

I must have at least 60 different street addresses for Philadelphia (15

But my answer to her would be "different strokes". I participate in this

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"?



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, and this has not caused any problems with reports so far as I
know.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[music-line]

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.

Best wishes

David

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[G Oliver]

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

[Thomas Herson]

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.

What is the advantage of using the address option rather than just naming 
the cemetery itself in the Burial field?

Just because a feature is there doesn't mean you have to use it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

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.

It doesn't appear that way on all reports - only the "boxed" ones like

you don't get repetition.

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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

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.

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.

Next to the field for burial, for instance, there's a + sign.  If you 
click on that, there's an option for burial address.


To delete an Event, click on Options next to where you enter Events and 
click Delete Event.

[MICHELLE CROSBY]

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

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions

[ronald ferguson]

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. Go to the Individual's Information Screen, highlight the Event, 
and use Options>Delete
