Bill, Before you jump into changing everything, let me recommend that you enter a few both ways then run some test reports and web pages (if you are going to create a website) to see how they look to you. Also check out how the information displays within Legacy - especially the mapping feature. I prefer to have the full address in the location field and also include the cemetery name in the burial location field. Others on this list do the same. It seems to me a terrible waste of the mapping feature to only plot a town when you could plot the exact location. As far as I know, entering a full address or a cemetery name in the location field does not cause any problems. One of the things I like about Legacy is that there is often more than one way to do something and you can find the way that you like best.
