The best approach would be to try Dutch applications such as Adfaer (free) and GensDataPro (free trial). I'm just a lonesome autodidact in this field. But I could give you a translation of my personal convention so far: Postcode : zip-code consist of 4 digits a space and two capitals, together with a housenumber it is unique. I once received a letter with everything else scrambled almost beyond recognition except for these two details. Plaats : village or hamlet, it has road signs with a name, marking the border were you have to slow down your speed. Gemeente : community? A city or village with a major, they are joining much smaller communities the last few and coming decades. Provincie : a bigger political unit http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincie Land : country For the increasing significance as required by gedcom, "Straat" (=street) competes with the postcode. As a matter of fact the significance of a street goes between the digits and capitals, but in practise you should never split the postcode. OK, if I design it that way, is it acceptable for people from Netherlands? ,Postcode,Plaats, Gemeente, , Arrondissement, Provincie, Land That way a user can add something lower than "Postcode", and something between "Gemeente" and "Arrondissement".
