Tony, What you put in (or not put in) any field is your choice. I include street addresses in the Location Field because, for me, I think it works better and saves messing around with the Address Option.
Thus, for the location I would write "At Sea, name of sea - if known, general area - if known. For example, I have an uncle who died in the English Channel and I write the location as "At Sea, English Channel". If I knew where I would include either England or France. If I knew the name of the ship which he was on I would add this in the death notes.

Some time ago, I was advised by Legacy support that I should only keep towns, villages etc. in the location list and that street addresses and similar should be kept separately. I have just discovered a family member who was killed in action during WW1. He died as a result of enemy action, aboard a British submarine and the citation says that his body was never recovered for burial. When I enter the date of death, I have a location field, a death address field and a medical notes/cause of death available. What is the best way to use these? Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Tony 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).
