I've only tried that expand/contract thing once, and either it didn't work or I didn't like the results, and I had to backtrack, so that is not a "benefit" to me.
And I'm not sure why having a separate Cemetery EVENT would be so much more beneficial in searches. Off the top of my head I don't see how much easier it can be than to click on the Location and click "options" and "show list"... and build my report from there. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Sherry/Support <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Cemetery name in Burial Location, Burial Address, or separate Cemetery event? If you enter the Cemetery names as an Event (I have a Cemetery Event), you can do so much more with that in searching and creating reports and you don't have to worry with problems of sorting and using Expand/Contract Location Parts in the Master Location List. Those tools don't work correctly if you don't use the default 4-part location - city, county, state, country. Also, the formatting needs to be correct for USA County Verifier to locate the county I would do the same for hospitals, churches, etc. We realize this can pose a problem for locations outside of the US, but you can compensate for it by using commas as place holders.
