Margaret, I too have adopted the same "wait and see" approach as Alan. The instructions in legacy_news.typepad on how-best-to-prepare for legacy-75 was very basic and did not address the issue of street addresses/church/cemetery name in the Master Location List. The subject of how to enter street addresses, etc. in the Legacy Master Location List was discussed on the Legacy User Group during 2009, and there appeared to be quite a few of us who were doing it. I hope there will not be a problem in Legacy 7.5.
