Sherry,
After the misery we have gone through for the past 15 months with Legacy
7, I am sure that the majority of Legacy users would not look forward to
a "complete rewrite of the database structure".

If you just want to see who has been cited on a (any) census, you could
use the Source Citation report. You can print out a list of all Master

I know what you mean. It always strikes me as strange too. But, what

The Kenosha County Genealogical Society has a website of cemeteries at
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wikenosh/cemeteries.htm.
It lists:
Green Ridge Cemetery (City Cemetery), 6604 7th Ave (City of Kenosha)

Latitude 42.57222; Longitude: -87.81972.
I wholeheartedly agree with Jacki about the egregious indexing errors
found in Ancestry -having names in the index that in no way resemble
what is found on the census image. It especially annoys me that you
can only provide an alternative spelling, and note that it is a
transcription error,
