What I do to avoid the confusion, is, when the location needs an explanation,
I quote the verbiage in the Source details, and then use the location without
any modifiers in the Location list. Example: a relative was shot in front of

Hello Ron - everything is fine thanks, Bruce and Jenny both gave me ways to
solve my problem. My comment was based on a comment that I may have 'set you
off again'' which initially left me wondering what I had done.

To answer your question, I would never use the word "of" in the Location field,

For me, it depends on the context in which the location is fo

Jim,
Why is your option a better method? I accept that the method of including
the cemetery, and indeed house and street names in the Location field, and
then right sorting does mean that the output is not suitable for the
Geolocation function, but then that American function does not work for

Please fix the glitch reported below earlier in the year in the new Legacy
update. This is a real problem for me as it is sometimes necessary to change
language to French or German for oversees relatives. When I change back to
English then I forever see Ber instead of Cal in all printed reports.
The problems with doing this are presented in the 2nd CD tutorial. If
you try to sort your localities by county or state, having the
cemetery in the city location will cause the city to sort as a county.
A better option is to use the + symbol by the burial and then enter
the cemetery location and a
OK, it's working. Whoever said that parentheses needed to be used needs to

Make your change in the "Master Location List". If one location is
used by 10 people, one change in the "Master Location List" will
change the location for all 10 individuals.
