I would advise you to think carefully before you do something which you feel is not right for you. I do not have a problem along the lines you suggest, perhaps because I rarely have a full address for a birth or death, and I do not have residences visible in Family (if it is possible - I haven't looked), or perhaps I may not consider it a problem, as you may do.
As I have said many times I do things in a way that suits me, and the applications which I use, hopefully, my thoughts may encourage others not to think inside boxes designed by others, but they are not recommendations. Just as I read about other ways of doing things, and then make my own mind up, I encourage others to do the same.

That's what I thought - that's where you put everything. I just don't like it but I can see it would be easier than trying to fit things into the 4 fields and then the Address fields to take up the slack. The problem, as I see it, is that it wouldn't fit nicely into Family View or Individual Info when practically all the room could be taken up just by the street name. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 9/8/2012 11:00 AM, Ron Ferguson wrote: > There seems to be misunderstanding here, that is where Jenny and I put > them! > Ron Ferguson > http://www.fergys.co.uk/ > GOONS #5307 > > > "JLB"<[email protected]> wrote: > >> That sounds like a plan.
