Here's what I do, but I'm not sure if I should - open to comments. I put City, County, State, Country, Of
I use the Of as a separate place indicator, which will create a duplicate for the same city for cases in which I am sure of the birth. With the Of, I'm not sure if the person was born there, but it makes it much easier to have that information in the place of birth field in addition to source citations. Plus, if I don't know the city, for example, it becomes: , , County, State, Country So, I try to maintain the integrity of having four positions in all the place fields by using commas.
