I have looked at the Chronology Report and like it. Nevertheless, this report is not the best way to view Residence History. I don't see how this report offers the same advantageous compared to my current approach. Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Have you looked at the Chronology Report? I have barely used it, but it seems popular with others to show events during a person's life.

I have not. For one thing, there are more residence addresses for most ancestors than events. Immigrants frequently moved, sometimes every few years. To create a Residence History, I have documented residence addresses of many of my direct ancestors from City Directories spanning 30 years+. This has given me much more information about Residence History than Census and other single year documents. Hence, I created an Event called "Residence History". In the Event notes section, I list by year, the person's residence addresses. Sometimes I will include a key life-event in parenthesis (e.g., death, birth, marriage) to add perspective. In summary, the advantages for using one event for Residence History are: 1. There are frequently more Residence Addresses than Events for most immigrants than those contained in Census and other single year documents. 2. I can view a lifetime of residence addresses in chronological order in place and I don't have to print out a report to see it. It is a "click away". 3. One list, in one location, in one Event, enables me to see migration patterns easily, compare residence histories of people to determine how a husband and wife may have met each other, whether family members that immigrated lived near or far from each other, etc. 4. The one Event called "Residence History" can be printed out on a person's Family History Page or Report (at least that is what I understand from the comments of other users). If my ancestors lived in few places throughout their lifetime (e.g., at key lifetime events), your suggestion makes a lot of sense to me. However, I continue to see more advantages to my approach at this time. Then again, I could be wrong. Mike In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus autem caritas.

I use the "Residence" event and enter the address (if I know the house # and street) in the "Description" field, while putting the town/county/state in the Place field. (I can look up the sentence structure I use for you, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change the standard, except maybe for past/present tense.) Events print out very nicely, in order (provided I've sorted them). I am missing the advantage to entering multiple addresses on one event.

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 :-).
