Nick, Yes, you are correct. For this reason, many of us put the full address in the Location Field. We may have other uses for the Address Book, for example I only use for details of my living family, strangely enough, otherwise known as an Address Book, where I come from!

As I understand it, a location is any information prefaced by "in" or entered in the Place field of an Event. An Address is not a location & will, therefore, not appear on the Masters location List &, therefore, cannot be mapped. For example, I have an address where my grandparents lived. If I enter this as Marriage Info it will not appear on the Master Location List. If I add it as a unique location to the List, it will not link to any people. However, if I add it as an Event ie Residence & put the address in the Place field, it will appear. I guess there's no way to tell Legacy to include all addresses in the Master Location List. I assume I should use the address field only for current info. on living relatives. Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks, Nick.
