When you're in the Master Location list and click on a location you can see a list of Individuals that use that Location, but not exactly where they use it. You'll need to look at the person's entry and see where the location was entered. > > 2.

Rather depends where you *want* to put it! Some of us put the name at the start of the Location, others only put City, State, Country (or equivalent) as a Location and put street addresses, including Cemetery addresses in the Event Address fields - either the Address field behind the + next to Birth, Baptism, Death, Burial, or the Event Address for Events or Marriage. > > 3.

See above re adding Cemetery names to Addresses or Locations. The place for a person's current address is the Address field which you access via the "house" icon on the Individual's Information screen. For addresses at time of Birth, Baptism of whatever see previous paragraph. Usually, Cemetery details will be attached to the Burial field, but you might want to create an Event for some specific information, such as a Headstone inscription. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
