Hello everyone,
I've had Legacy for years and haven't used it correctly - only adding
data. Now, I'm attempting to learn all its ins and outs - Jan and Feb
in the north are good for doing this. I'm cleaning up my locations list
and need some help because it is a mess. Right now I have three
questions as I'm struggling the best methods.
1. When a location is shown on the list, is there a way to _trace it
back to see the document it relates to_?
When you're in the Master Location list and click on a location you can
see a list of Individuals that use that Location, but not exactly where
they use it. You'll need to look at the person's entry and see where
the location was entered.
2. Where does one place the _name of the cemetery_ - in the space for
location for the Individual Information or in the individual's event
or in the event notes?
Rather depends where you *want* to put it! Some of us put the name at
the start of the Location, others only put City, State, Country (or
equivalent) as a Location and put street addresses, including Cemetery
addresses in the Event Address fields - either the Address field behind
the + next to Birth, Baptism, Death, Burial, or the Event Address for
Events or Marriage.
3. Where does one place the _address of an cemetery or individual_ - in
the space for Individual Information or in the individual's event or
in the event notes?
See above re adding Cemetery names to Addresses or Locations. The place
for a person's current address is the Address field which you access via
the house icon on the Individual's Information screen. For addresses
at time of Birth, Baptism of whatever see previous paragraph. Usually,
Cemetery details will be attached to the Burial field, but you might
want to create an Event for some specific information, such as a
Headstone inscription.
