Robert, There is no need to remove the town/city or another parts for a cemetery or church. You can have up to 9 "fields" in a location.

Ch., Tenn. And so on. If I sort in reverse (country, state, county, town/city), it keeps everything together. Thanks. Robert On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 8:07 PM, Robert E.

Looking back in the Archives, I see a message from Jenny about this earlier today. That’s what she said she is doing.
