Hi Frank,
Are you doing the Search IGI for completed ordinances? If so, after you
have reviewed the matches and found the right person, with the Family tab
foremost, at the bottom left of the screen you will see a radio button that
says Update Legacy Spouse, and with the Parents tab foremost you
and event entitled Usual Place of Residence which I always
generate when the death place is distant from the normal home place.
Great idea -- I like that ! Thanks, Alice.

I'm happy to hear you found a satisfactory solution to your O'Dell surname

Hi Pat,
IMHO it is of equal importance to indicate both the place of residence and
the place of death if they differ. Death certificates are extremely
helpful in genealogical research, and in general a lot easier to acquire.
One must file for the death certificate in the state where the person

Hi Dee,
The way you posted it originally is the way I enter the data when there is
no town. , Bell County, Texas, USA is how I would enter your example.
As Leon Chapman notes, there is a comma place holder in front of the county

Hi Jill,
On the first point, I have not had a lot of luck changing the preposition from
in to of in the Master Location list and have gone back to in. There
just is no help for it. It is generally understood that of means at some
time the person was located in or associated with the location
, how is the best way to
indicate that in the location box, so it does not come up as a problem in
the County Verifier. Or is there a better way to indicate you are not sure?
Thank you for your thoughts and assistance.

I agree with making 9 visible. Also
I enter the child with the parents, then mark the end of the child's **given
name** with a tilde (~). On Family View for both the parents and child, the
tilde is a clear indicator something is amiss. On Individual view for the
child, the tilde at the end of the given name is also in evidence.
