I do agree. My standard is: [1. local jurisdiction/repository i.e.township, village, city, etc], 2.County, 3.State, 4.Country and apply to other countries similarly by always using three commas for all locations [usually each has a repository of genealogical data] . The entry might between comma's might be null if I don't have the information. For example born in USA might be ", , , USA". I know I have some research to do but I only record what I have from that source.
For folder hierarchy and some naming situations I reverse the order but always hold to 4 elements for location. I don't believe I have ever had an exception. I am sure I will learn about one here. So far this works for me. Bill On Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 12:20 AM Roberta Schwalm <[email protected]> wrote: > I do the same thing, Shirley.
