Maureen, I'm sure listers are furiously typing at this moment that you need not be a slave to the suggestion of 4 positions in a location. Many discussions in the list archives.
As for your example, why not do as the Quebecers do: either "Saint Michel de Bellechasse" or "Saint-Michel-de-Bellechasse"? I see that the Legacy Geo Location database is not very helpful, as a search turns up "Saint-Michel, , Québec, Canada". If you put "Bellechasse" in the county position, the search comes up blank. In fact, counties seem to be totally ignored for Canada. Wikipedia says that Bellechasse is a "regional county municipality", so it would seem reasonable to create a location as either "Saint-Michel, Bellechasse, Québec, Canada" or "Saint-Michel-de-Bellechasse, , Québec, Canada". Experiment with how you will want to sort your eventual location list, including reverse order.

I just recently combined two sources into one. The first was created in the basic style, the second with Source Writer. I am now going through and (finally) standardising all 2300 records to the Source Writer template, but I have it a snag, and it's going to continue. There aren't enough Location options. These records are Canadian church records, which means that I have an extra layer in there. Quebec has three St-Michels that I can think of, and without the county included, specifying which one is going to be difficult. So I'm throwing this problem out for suggestions. My initial thought was to do something along the lines of St-Michel [Bellechasse] in the city/town/village line, but I'm not certain that's the way to go. Any alteratives? Once I do these I really don't want to have to re-do them. And France will follow the same pattern, or worse, with between four and six levels. Thanks.
