Tammy, You have hit the nail on it's head. The use of the structured method is a total waste of time effort. There is no right or wrong way, what works for you is what is right for you.
These structured locations are for today's world and not for any histrocal location. You are very correct in the method that you have used in the Indian Territory.

Don't y'all put the location in as it was at the time in history? I have my grandmother's birth location as: Pickens Co., Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory other great-grandmother as (west of) Cumberland, Pickens Co., Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. _____________________________________________ From: Tammyj [mailto:tam...@brightok.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 4:52 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Entering info in location field Entering place in the location field. I'm coming from FTM16 to Legacy 8. I was wondering if there is a preferred way to enter information in the location field. I would like to know how others are entering location for census events as well. I did it this way in FTM for the location field: Madill, Marshall Co., Oklahoma For census events I did the reverse: Oklahoma, Marshall Co., Wills Twp., etc.... Is there a way it should be done to work with maps? I have noticed some not listing the Co.,: Madill, Marshall, Oklahoma If you put the Country do you use USA or United States?
