Hi Ron!
Thank you for the reply. I was afraid it would be a "personal choice".
HA-HA, I'm too new to have a personal choice yet!
When you attach the birth certificate scan to the Date of Birth, are you
attaching a complete copy of the document (similar to the scan used for
the
Master Source), or have you used Legacy's crop/trim feature to only attach
the section of the document with the information you want to display (i.e.
the sentence with Date of Birth)?
Because I am new to Legacy, perhaps I am following the manual too
literally.
I have created Event-Addresses for each birth/marriage/death street
address.
I would then include parish/district information within the
Event-Address/Notes section.
Inputting my Bath example I would utilize both the Long and Short Location
Names functions:
In the Long Location Name I would input: Bath, Somerset, England, United
Kingdom (with a separate Event-Address and Event-Address/Notes section for
the individual)
In the Short Location name I would input: Bath, Somerset, England
I have ancestors from all over the world. Many locations are without
actual
counties, so rather than printing a chart with orphaned commas, I tend to
leave the counties out from everyone's Short Name Locations.
How far off from the "norm" am I?
Thanks again for your reply!

Hi Rob,
The answer to your first question is probably that it is a matter of
personal choice. With a birth certificate for example I would only attach
the bc scan to the date of birth and reference the birth certificate in
the
detail field for the others.
Your second question is more complex. In the UK we do not use UK as part
of
the address and would only use, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales
and the Isle of Man although to put UK after them is correct.
The format for UK addresses is Street, Parish/District, Town/City, County,
Country, (UK). As you will know Bath is a city in the county of Somerset
in
England. So the address would be Bath, Somerset, England (,UK) - the
brackets intending to mean optional.
If the road is included then it might be 6 Pulteney Road, Bath, Somerset,
England (,UK) However with the UK present this would give 5 fields. This
gets worse if the district is included eg this address becomes: 6 Pulteney
Road, Dolemeads, Bath, Somerset, England (,UK) - 6 fields.
Fortunately there is (I think) only one Pulteney Road in Bath so the
district does not matter but some towns can have multiple eg Park Streets
in
different districts then what to leave out really does become a problem.
Personally I never use UK for this reason as it reduces the number of
committed fields, although the person who compiles the Grimshaw part of my
website does. He, however, puts the street and district details in the
notes
section.
Hope that helps rather than confuses.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Detail Picture and Location input?
Hello! I have just started using Legacy v6.0 and have a couple questions
I
hope someone can help me with.
1. My goal is to include a scan/picture of each document in my Master
Sources. For something like a one page Birth Registration, do most people
just include a second (complete) scan of the document as the Detail
Picture,
or do people actually crop the document to illustrate each event detail
separately (i.e. Name, Birth Date, etc)?
2. Which is the correct method of inputting Bath, Somerset?
A) Bath, Somerset, England, United Kingdom or
B) Bath, , Somerset, England
I am still having a few problems wrapping my head around including
Counties
in my locations.
Thanks very much!
Rob Miller
