Dear All,
I have been using Legacy for a number of years in the UK and I have finally got my head around the Master Locations List and have managed to geo-locate all of my places in the Village/Town, County, Country format. I have been trying to use the Event Addresses for births/christenings/marriages/deaths/burials to add specific places (churches, cemeteries, hospitals, street addresses for places of birth and death) but I have a few problems: 1. In the Event Address List I have many churches with the same name but located in different places. In the overview list they just appear by the entry in the name field. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to distinguish between similar named churches. I could simply put - "All Saints Church - Old Burghclere", but this would then come out in the report options along with the detailed address that will say Old Burghclere again (see below). 2. Producing ancestor/descendant reports it writes the specific address in parentheses behind the master event location, including the full address, which generally repeats the master event location. For example, "he was born on... in Reading, Berkshire (Royal Berkshire Hospital, London Road, Reading, Berkshire, England)...". Is there a way of just extracting the first part of the address and place it in front of the master location. I need to put the full place information so I can distinguish between the different, e.g. churches with the same name (see above). I like using the geo-location feature and do not want to put it as one long field. At the moment I have been adding the information as, for example, as a note in the birth field. This is then printed as "Birth Notes: He was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, London Road." that also looks messy. This is only a problem for births/christenings/marriages/deaths/burials because for events you can put the specific address in the description field and this works perfectly for Census records, e.g. "He appeared on the census at 17 Bridge Street on 3 April 1881 in Oxford, Oxfordshire." If births/christenings/marriages/deaths/burials had description fields that would be great. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Simon _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/197222280/direct/01/ Do you have a story that started on Hotmail?
