Can anyone tell me how to tag the records that have any entry "Burial Address" field? I've tried all the search commands and have been unable to find the records where I did put the Cemetery Name in the Burial Address field. Thanks.

As an example: West Devon Cemetery; United Church Cemetery, West Devon; Presbyterian Church Cemetery, West Devon; etc. All refer to the same cemetery, and I had all three or more listed in my location list. Some times I would run across someone who had died and was buried in West Devon but I couldn't remember what the name of the cemetery was and I would spend a lot of time trying to locate the name in my location list. As well if I wanted to print out a report listing everyone who was buried in this cemetery, I'd have to look up all the different variations and tag each of them. The approach that I took to correct this and that places all cemeteries in the same place in the location list is to include the full name of the cemetery and put all cemeteries in the same format, this works great for me, it may not work for anyone else. I place my example above as follows: Cemetery: United Presbyterian Church, West Devon,....,.....,..., Canada. By using this format, all my cemeteries can now be located by typing in Cem, they are sorted alphabetically by the first letter in the word following the ":". You can still do searches from left to right or right to left.
