Since Legacy does allow extra text in the place field, I use the phrase "of Mendham" or "pos. Mendham" as my entry with the appropriate source info entered, i.e. the book where it was found. I then use the option on the place screen to generate a list of all the entries using my "of Mendham" place name to generate a list I can use to go and check the official Mendham records to find "real" source citations and clean up my data entries.
May be an extra step to some but it works for me.

Another question for the group. One of my principal sources has information like this entry: 'Catherine married Joel C. Homan, son of Thomas H., of Mendham; lived there, and had children:' I'm trying to figure out the best way to record in Legacy the "of" and "lived". Do you create custom events and record it there? Add it to the notes (which has source citation challenges)? Something else? Continued thanks from a Legacy newbie ...
