Michele, I am unsure as to what you mean here. I always use the full address in a Residence Event and put it in the location field, which means that when using the mapping function the site will be located on the street (if it still exists).

I would not put it in a location field. michele -----Original Message----- From: Alan Pereira Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 4:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] webinar comment An example of why it should be ignored is a grandfather of mine was born at the address: 30 Little Camden Street, Camden Town, Middlesex, England nFS wants to use: Camden Town, Middlesex, England The real value of where my grandfather was born would be lost. Similarly his christening was at: All Saints, St. Pancras, Camden Town, Middlesex, England nFS offers the Camden Town or St Pancras address in Middlesex, England and loses the name of the Church where the event took place. There is a case for using the generic location as suggested by nFS if the full address was also available to researchers. As yet the web site for general searches on the nFS data is not available so we will not know the answer to that until it becomes so. Another problem is that I am attaching sources to these events which presume the complete address is in place - the source also loses value if the address is compromised. -----Original Message----- Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
