I have been trying to be consistent during data input but it is hard when time is scarce and software gets "better" all the time. Do I understand correctly that neither Ron Ferguson nor Jenny Benson use the + button to the right of Born, Chr, Died & Buried locations on the Individual's Information screen?
At the moment I have the following locations for my grandmother: Born: Bradford, Yorkshire West Riding, England Chr: St Clement's Parish Church Died: Labrador, QLD, Australia Cremated: Nerang, QLD, Australia I have an Event called "Crematorium" where I have the Description: "Allambe Gardens Crematorium" (which FYI is in the suburb of Nerang). I have another Event called "Residence" where I have the Description: "b. 30 Darfield St; d. Robert Ashton Nursing Wing, Gold Coast Garden Settlement" (which FYI is a retirement village in Labrador). How would you enter the above info? By the way, I used to put these addresses in the Place field on the Events/Facts screen but I noticed there were a lot of "one off" locations so I changed to using the Description field instead. Is that the correct way to go or not? After looking at the videos, sample file etc. I began to change where I put my information. I started to use the + button on a few people but don't see the advantage -- where does this information show up? Please tell me if there is an advantage or is it just as good to use Events/Facts more extensively. I have recently started to put dates for the Event "Residence" so they now appear chronologically and soon I hope to tackle the big job of inputting hundreds of census entries I've collected from Ancestry.com and Findmypast.
