Certainly not for Addresses I don't, and putting the entire address into the Location field is a "trick" I learned from Ron! Apart from anything else I don't like the way it appears in Reports if you put part (or all) of the address into the Address field and part of it into the Location field. My locations range from a single component, such as "Jamaica" or "Wirral Registration District" (1) through slightly more explicit entries such as "Camden, New South Wales, Australia" to the very detailed "465 East 16th Street, Brooklyn, New York, Kings County, New York, USA" or Grave 109, Section C, Toxteth Park Cemetery, Smithdown Road, Toxteth Park, Liverpool, Lancashire, England". As for "one off" locations I have hundreds of them. What with people moving house, roads being re-numbered, district boundaries being moved, areas being re-named, Census enumerators being more or less accurate, etc, etc there can be numerous versions of what is, in essence, the same address. (1) Although I am, largely for my own convenience, intending to add the County to Registration Districts. (Although this might prove tricky occasionally as they sometimes span County boundaries.) I have found I often want to look for people with Events in a certain County and often the only "address" I have will be the RD in which a B, M or D took place. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
