Hi Jerry What is wrong with the Address field/table for cemeteries etc - then you can edit the details from one place, select them from the list (second application etc), and "show list" to find out who is there? I thought that Notes would be less "friendly".

Otherwise, you will get LOCATION names that refer to CEMETERIES and not CITIES, VILLAGES, TOWNSHIPS, etc. The LOCATION fields are much more manageable not to mix them up with CEMETERY names.....IMO. Plus, if you ever use TNG - The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding for your website data, you will have very messy PLACE names if you use CEMETERIES in fields that are really designed only for the traditional LOCATION / PLACE divisions.
