I'm thinking it has something to do with commas, and Legacy thinking this is
the county, which, of course, does not exist.

Art,
That was my reaction as well - in fact, although I'm on a different
continent, I'm certain I could find it and enter it.
It is this that makes me think I am missing the point which Marilyn is
making and hence my questions.

If one creates a location entry of:
Green Ridge Cemetery, 6604 7th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA
Virtual Earth went directly to the cemetery at:
Lat 423416.294 N, 0874913.859 W
I did not have to enter the Lat and Long numbers, the program found it
instantly.
I found the address by Google

Marilyn,
Firstly, it is *not* my program, I am a user, the same as most persons on
this list!
I do not understand what you are saying so please see my
comments/questions
inserted into your post.

No that isn't what I am talking about. I have the name Green Ridge
Cemetery
by the person who died and everytime I get out of that particular person
it
says the cemetery does not exist.
Where are you putting the details and address of this cemetery? What do
you
mean by: "everytime I get out of that particular person"? What says "the
cemetery doesn't exist"?
This cemetery is very large in downtown
Kenosha, WI. It should be in your program. What you told me did not make
any sense to me. I have gone into the name and put in decendent. Then I
don't know where to go from there.
"I have gone into the name and put in decendent" How and where are you
doing
this - what screen are you on?
Sorry, but without understanding your problem I am unable to help.

Ron,
For some reason Legacy does not have the cemetery in Kenosha, WI. When I
put in the name and where they are buried it keeps telling me that there
is
no such cemetery. The name of the cemetery is Green Ridge and it is in
downtown Kenosha, WI. It should be fixed in your program.

And I've only just got up so my brain is not yet in gear, but I think the
answer to your question is "yes", at least to some extent.
I think the default sentence for the description field is "at [Desc]".
Take
the Residence Event as an example, it reads "[He/She] at [Desc]". Without
changing the default, only the contents of the Description field, it can
be
made to read eg. "He resided at 'birth' ", "He resided at 'birth in
London
Hospital' ", He resided at 'census' ", where the bit in single quotes is
what is included in the description field. These are not particularly
good
examples but, I think, make the point.
If this is not what you meant please come back to us.

I've had a long day and perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but you CAN
design the sentence to read differently if the description field is
filled
than when it isn't.

Ron,
After further review, you are correct! The events showing
without the colon
are those where there is no description entered. I don't want
to define
those events without the description as sometimes there is valid
informationto enter. For example, I have cases where Residence
is defined with a
description of "at the time of her father's death", if I have
found such
information in an obituary that was published in the newspaper.
It sure would be nice if the list style would print them the
same regardless
of whether all of the fields are entered or not.
I will submit this as a bug.
Thank you!
Mary

Thanks, Mary :-(
That is one I had not spotted! But before going further may I
make it clear
that most of the problems I have with Pedigree webpages are self
inflictedas the presentation of my site is definitely non-standard.
Yes, I use the list style and having looked I have found an
example of the
comma instead of a colon. However, it is not as you have
suggested due to a
self created Event. The one I have found is a Residence Event.
Within that
list I have 3 Residence Events but only one has the comma and in
that one I
have a blank field:
Residence: Census, 1901, Salford
Residence, 1891, Salford
So my question to yourself is - "is the second field in your
Event blank?"
Now mine is due to an error but your's looks as though it is
not, in which
case what happens if you remove the second field from the Event,
or fill it?
(assuming, of course that is the reason).
BTW please do not expect a quick answer as it 2-45am here and
the only
reason I'm still up is that I'm working on a complete redesign
of my site
and I won't sleep until most the scheme worked out, mainly in my
head but
with some of it on paper.

I know that Ron Ferguson creates Pedigree Web Pages and the
finagling that
he has to do for his pages is pretty common knowledge on this list.
Ron, when you create your pages, do you use List Style or
Sentence Style
for
Events? Do you have events that you created?
I use List Style and it appears that events that I have
defined do not
look
the same as those that came with Legacy. I don't see anything
different in
the way that the event is defined. Examples of the event in
List Style on
pedigree web page:
. OCCUPATION: Saddler, 8 Sep 1878, Saint Vincent Villa, Lynton,
Devon, England.
. IMMIGRATION, 12 Apr 1881, New York, New York County, New York,
USA.
Occupation is followed by a colon and Immigration is followed
by a comma.
I think that Occupation is one of the default events and that
Immigrationis
one that I created.
Has anyone else seen this?
