Although I rarely put the township in the location field, I do if the town or village is unknown (or undocumented). That way it's possible at a glance to know what geographical part of the county a person lived in. To my way of thinking, knowing that a person died in Cedar Township, Boone County,

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put age at death

I usually end up with them in two places: general notes and source text. I like them in the General Notes because they are interesting to read in the reports, but since I usually use them as a source, I think they also belong in the source text. It's redundant, I know -- but I haven't found a sy
