What I have always hoped for is the ability to add my own locations to this. I have some areas where I should like to define places down to areas only several hundred yards square. When the family lived for over two hundreds years within walking distance, the areas were known by different names. I therefore have Dales Green and Alderhay and the Rookery and Harriseahead and Brown Lees and Stadsmoreslow so on and I would like to be able to define them and their location in Latitude and Longitude. I cannot expect the database to go to this detail, but it is essential for me to do so. John
