Does not Events/Facts appear in reports? If so, I have found creating an Event called "Residence History" is a great way to see the migration patterns of your ancestors over time. In this Event, I list all known addresses by year, including those locations/addresses at birth, marriage, and death as well as those in Census Records, Naturalization Records, etc. Its all in one place in an easy understandable format. This does not mean I don't record addresses/locations in specific records. I do. However, I don't know of any way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors locations/addresses over his/her lifetime in one place.

Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from England). Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the Location Field. Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).
