Thanks again Sherry. I don't use mailing addresses much but I do have a lot of residence events and have done as you suggest. These do also show up in address searches. Where I have a census and recorded it as an event it is sometimes different to any residence address and I have added the event address, shared by all those on the census. If I use the name field to record the address I have to omit it from the address field otherwise when I use [address] it shows up twice, as it does in the master list. What I have now for an event sentence is: Edwin appeared in the Census Returns of England and Wales, 1891 in Islington, London, (96 Riversdale Road, Islington, London, England).ยน His occupation is recorded as 'Greengrocer'. This seems ok to me but maybe cries out for a short version of [address]. And now all my addresses show properly in the master list and are searchable. I guess part of my pain has been dealing with family homes occupied by more than one generation over a longer period of time and getting picked up by successive censuses. Thanks, Graham

Historical Residence addresses are added as Residence Events. I enter the street address in the Description field, date has the date range of when they lived there and Place is the city, county, state, country That way you can sort all residences together by name or in chronological order (options button on the right of the list) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 7:47 AM, Graham Love <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Sherry - what would you suggest for a residence?
