Excellent suggestion and it worked. By editing the makeup of the Baptism
event to add a Description field, my invisible location data now appear in
that field.
This doesn't solve my overall problem of having ALL location data from FTM

I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade (especially since there's a

For my Find A Grave sources, I put the memorial #, as well as the name of
the person who created the entry, in the Source Detail Comments section (on

You can add a File ID to a Master Source or to Source Detail. Look for
the box on those screens.
I also use the CLOOZ numbering system though I no longer have CLOOZ.
I'll always be grateful for the idea as I was surrounded by people who

I wouldn't use a Newspaper source for this obituary since you only saw a
transcript.
