I am a new user, new to Legacy, but not to genealogy. I previously used PAF and kept the four grandparents (my two and my husband's two) lines as separate databases. I imported as a gedcom the smallest one with few problems.
Now I am really confused about entering cemetery names. On ancestry they said to follow the city, county, state/province, country strictly and to put the cmemtery name under description. However, Legacy does not have a "description" line. I read many messages in the archives about cemeteries and have read all the UG messages for the last week. One person suggested putting the name of the cemetery with the city as Spokane - Hope Cemetery, Spokane, Washington, USA. Now in this message it is suggested that one enter just three fields and that Legacy will figure out the rest for the Core and Core+ fields. Enter Hilltop Cemetery, Benton City, Benton So is this later the best way to enter cemetery locations?
