Okay, The Event location is usually filled with the town, county,
state and country if you use all four levels that would be
Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. The event
address is designed for a mailing address like:
Victory Hospital
123 High Street
Middlesbrough, Yorkshire
Now to answer your specific questions;
1. The Name field would be for the name of the resident or
institution just like a mailing address. Alternatively you could
use the name of the individual and a post name qualifier like
birth, death, christening etc for the various addresses. If the
person was born, christened or died in an institution the name of
the institution could be used because several people in the same
town could be born and/or died at the local hospital, christened
in the parish church etc. Same for burial the name of the
cemetery could be the name part of the address.
2. The sort string is a way to specify how the address list
should be sorted but it is not applied universally. On some
Address outputs (Address Label report) you can elect to have the
addresses sorted by sort string but that is about the only place
I have seen the option.
3. Cannot help you there. I haven't used addresses in my reports,
in fact since I rarely have full addresses for such things as
cemeteries for burials or churches where people were married I
tend to just put the name in a Birth, Death, Burial or Marriage note.

I am revisiting my location address dilemma. I am really struggling with
this.
I understand that I enter my location address like this "Middlesbrough,
Yorkshire, England"
BUT, for my birth I'd like to enter "25 Willow Street" presumably in the
event address.
My questions are
1. In this case what goes in the name fields? If I leave this blank the list
shows n/a. In such a case (which most of mine are) how do I find the address
again as everything in the location list is named n/a.
2. What is the sort string for? I had assumed I could use this to order my
address list for instance "Middlesbrough, 25 Willow St". This would have
made sorting easy, but it does not appear to do this so what is this fields
purpose.
3. How do I include these addresses in reports. I am aware that there are
event & event address check boxes in some reports but these do not appear to
work always and when they do they are unsightly.
Regards
Keith
