Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
When people ask I always tell them there is no one way of doing anything (only the best and most intuitive for you). The two key points are (1) know what the output will look like - how do you want to use your reports, charts, etc. - and then tweak the input to accomplish it; and (2) be consistent - when you make a decision, make a note of it and have your cheatsheet so you know your process or workflow. Finally (and this is the bonus) we own our programs, they don't own us - make conscious decisions, test the parameters, and use your program so that it works for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
I should add here my own idea that I hope might someday be implemented to resolve many place name issues. First, lets break down the place field into the individual components. A field for Country a field for State a field for County a field for Name Then lets add another set of fields to help us manage places that are not municipalities. probably 3 fields would suffice for most any applications Field 1 might contain a name like ; St. Mary's Catholic Church field 2 might contain the address : 123 Main Street Field 3 might contain a place type maybe 1 for cemetery, 2 for church, 3 for hospital, 4 for residence. When exporting data to a gedcom, we would mash all the 5 fields (but not the type) St. Marys Catholic Church, 123 Main st., Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA Importing data might be more difficult, but we know we can take countries and states and match to the known possibilities. We could also then set user defaults for which fields are displayed. Hopefully, eventually Legacy will implement something like this to help us all manage our places better.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
Hi Kathy, Your problem is that you are choosing the wrong sorting option. Unless you strictly enter locations in the town, county, state, country format which appears to suit most of the USA but doesn't suit most of my locations, then you need to use the Right to Left sort. Then so long as you enter your information consistently from smallest unit to largest unit/country, then the bits will sort together. I include streets etc in my locations and by sorting right to left every location in a particular town comes together. Then the relevant items can all be highlighted by clicking on the first in the list and holding down shift when you click on the last. Then use the Options button and Show List to get everyone associated with that location. I did it this morning to get a list of everyone in my file associated with Wiltshire as there are new Wiltshire records available at FindMyPast. Once you've chosen a Right to Left sort, then you can change the direction of the locations in the list just by ticking or unticking the Sort checkbox. You don't have to click the Sort button ever again. However, while you are there, before you choose right to left you might want to choose Generic terms instead of USA terms.

RE: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
As long as you are consistent with how many fields you use for each country your Master Location List will sort the countries together properly. For example, I use 4 fields for US, I use 3 for Germany, I use 4 for Poland and I use 6 for France. I have no problem with sorting. Where you run into problems is when you are not consistent within a country. Also, addresses and names of building do not belong in the location field. These belong in the address field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
So long as you are consistent and always end with the country, there isn't a problem. Just sort right to left and the places come together whether or not you want who lived in a particular town or county or country (or street) Michelle says addresses don't belong in the location. However. I've always put the address in the location and it works fine for me and many others. I don't like the way addresses report and you either enter incomplete addresses or get a repetition when you use the address field. I think there are other problems as well. Also I know addresses can now be mapped in Legacy 8 but I could map mine in Legacy 7. Jay, you can do that now if you want to use the 7 of the available 9 fields.

The cemetery/address would show up for every person and you could easily see who all is attached by simply doing a “Show List” The problem you will run into is when you share your information with other genealogists. The standard is locations go in location fields so if you send someone a piece of your file they will have a lot of cleanup to do. If you sync to FamilySearch you will get a “non standard” location warning message. I can give you a third option (and this is the one I use). I create a cemetery event. I like this option because I can add notes, transcription, photographs etc. If I really wanted to I could put the address in the description field along with the cemetery name but I don’t do that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
Ron, can you explain why? the names for the 4 main municipality location fields are just labels and could be adjusted as needed. Maybe they could be City, Parish, County, Country Or even just City, state, Country and have one field disabled There are many ways that these could be adjusted so that globally we are better off that the one field we have now. But since I am not familiar with the place name location needs of other countries, it would help if you explain what you do need.

First, lets break down the place field into the individual components. A field for Country a field for State a field for County a field for Name Then lets add another set of fields to help us manage places that are not municipalities. probably 3 fields would suffice for most any applications Field 1 might contain a name like ; St. Mary's Catholic Church field 2 might contain the address : 123 Main Street Field 3 might contain a place type maybe 1 for cemetery, 2 for church, 3 for hospital, 4 for residence. When exporting data to a gedcom, we would mash all the 5 fields (but not the type) St. Marys Catholic Church, 123 Main st., Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA Importing data might be more difficult, but we know we can take countries and states and match to the known possibilities. We could also then set user defaults for which fields are displayed. Hopefully, eventually Legacy will implement something like this to help us all manage our places better.

My problem is that sometimes I have only 3 names with separating comas and sometimes 5. If I do a reverse sort: Country, State, County, City it's a mess. For example-- 3 places separated by comas: Kirk Maughold Cemetery, Maughold, Isle of Man (Isle of man is it's own country and not part of England as the Manx are quick to point out). sorts to - , Isle of Man, Maughold, Kirk Maughold 5 places separated by comas: Elmwood Cemetery, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, USA. sorts to: Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, Elmwood Cemetery, USA Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada sorts to: , Canada, Saskatchewan, Regina. Most provinces in Canada do not have counties so almost everything is 3 places unless a cemetery is added to take up the 4th space. Any suggestions or creative ideas would be most welcome. My biggest concern is the sorting. If I want to make a list of people buried in various cemeteries in Kansas City, MO, I'd like to find them grouped together in the sort list rather than have to scroll through and try picking them out. USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery A USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery B USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery C I hope I've explained this in a clear manner.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
Gene, Yes, My senior moment has caught up with me, as one of the discussions (in a different thread) was about having different Long/lat for each stone within a cemetery and that Legacy has no way to handle that as it either creates a new record (if some field differs) or overwrites the previous Long/Lat that was stored for that exact same place name) Thanks Jay.

RE: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting
Jay, What is the problem with having one cemetery entry and 1200 burials attached to it? The cemetery/address would show up for every person and you could easily see who all is attached by simply doing a “Show List” The problem you will run into is when you share your information with other genealogists. The standard is locations go in location fields so if you send someone a piece of your file they will have a lot of cleanup to do. If you sync to FamilySearch you will get a “non standard” location warning message. I can give you a third option (and this is the one I use). I create a cemetery event. I like this option because I can add notes, transcription, photographs etc. If I really wanted to I could put the address in the description field along with the cemetery name but I don’t do that. Instead, the address (or directions) are in the source citation. Coal Town Cemetery (Lamar County, Mississippi; intersection of Coal Town Road and White Oak Road), Docia Leora Simmons and William Houston Simmons double marker, personally read, 2001.
