Hi Sherry Thanks for the reply. The GEDCOM was created in RootsMagic (v.6). Like Legacy, it allows for an Address field as well as the more general Location. I don't know anything about the underlying database structure in RootsMagic, but in the user interface, addresses are linked to the locations they refer to. So first of all you select the location (generally a town or parish etc) and then you have the opportunity to select or add a specific address (street, church, cemetery etc).
However, your suggestion about an Address name seems not to apply in my case. This is what I wrote earlier: > This event imported with the address intact: > 1 DEAT > 2 DATE 22 FEB 1952 > 2 PLAC Harrogate, WRY > 2 ADDR Alexandra Nursing Home > 2 SOUR @S171@ > 3 _TMPLT > 4 FIELD > 5 NAME Page > > but with this one the address went into the list as "n/a - 41 Carey Street": > 1 CENS > 2 DATE 6 APR 1891 > 2 PLAC Middlesbrough, NRY > 2 ADDR 41 Carey Street > 2 NOTE Age 7, born Middlesbrough; Scholar. > 2 SOUR @S12@ > 3 PAGE RG12/4014 fo27 p5 > 3 _TMPLT > 4 FIELD > 5 NAME Page > 5 VALUE RG12/4014 fo27 p5 Do you have any other suggestions, please?
