true, so if you wish to keep you files in sync. by storing the data on your

Using MS Access, can anyone tell me how to convert a Source Writer source to
a Basic source and then merge the two so that the Source Detail is
preserved?

I would like to print a report with burial addresses for anyone in my

I did a search for anyone who has a location in the Burial field, but

address.

Hi Scott,
You can go to View Master Lists Location Options Untag All records
not tag each cemetery address in your location screen that you want in your

That will not work if, as I suspect, the burial addresses are in the Address
Book and not the Locations.
I suggest, Scott that you have look and play with ViewReportsName Tags,
which can be displayed in a report format.

Better yet - I enter the burial information in as a Cemetery Event.
You can do so much more with the Event Report than you can with either
the Addresses or Locations.

Hi Sherry. Do you mean that you put the burial location place (ex:
city) in the buried location field - then you don't use the extra
address (+ field) for the cemetery at all, but instead enter that
information as a cemetery event? Just trying still to figure our what
will work best for us, not
Jerry,
In the location field on the Individual's Information window, I enter
the juridictional locations - South Bend, St. Joseph, Indiana.
Then I use a Cemetery event for the Burial data:
Description Riverview Cemetery

Location South Bend,
Thanks Sherry! I'll experiment with the process and see what works for
us. --Jerry

That's a good suggestion Sherry.
I'd like to say that it would be better if we could select the address
fields within the + areas to include on List Reports, rather than
having to use this workaround, but in the meantime, its a good option.

Sherry has shown us a workaround for obtaining Burial Addresses,
however, it should not be necessary to use such a 'workaround'.
If an Address is entered next to the Burial location, using the + icon,
it appears on a report for that Individual, provided that 'Event
Addresses' is ticked, just as
So you're really saying the using the + location fields for burial
information (or anything else) is pretty much a waste of time, and
that you should always create an event instead.

At this point, there's not much you can do with Event Addresses other
than create an address list or mailing labels.
I'm really hoping that in v8, the programmers will give us more

Whilst I might agree that using the + Address fields (*Not* Location fields)
might have few, if any, benefits, there is absolutely no need to create a
Burial Event, there already is one, although whether you show it on Family
View is up to you. As Jenny said, you can, like many of us, put
When a person is commemorated on a gravestone but buried elsewhere, I
would rather create and use a Cemetery Event than rely on notes in the

Like Ron, I put the full cemetery address in the Location field.

Larry,
In the Options for Individual Reports window there are two check boxes
'Addr for birth, chr, death, bur, marr.' and
'Event addresses'
If these are checked, then your burial addresses will be shown on that
Individual's report. So there is provision for using the information

My copy of Mills' Evidence Explained arrived this week. What a
wonderful resource! I finally feel I have solid guidance on how to
cite all of my sources.
I've found myself gravitating towards using the source citation
overrides to construct my citations instead of filling in the form
fields
Jean,
Whilst I do not often use the Sentence Override myself this is due to one of
three reasons, I am lazy, I prefer to go for a pint, or my output is
published only on websites. Should I ever come to publish a book then I
think I will regret this. It is my understanding that for narratives it
I guess I'm more confused than I thought I was. On Family view, one
of the lines I display is Buried where I put the date and the
controversial four USA locations (City, County, State, Country). Then
I click the +, select Burial Address, and enter all of the
information I have on the cemetery.
Larry,
Yes, Births, Marriages, Deaths, may be regarded as Vital Events and Burial
is yet another (not really vital though).
The + Burial Address is part of the Burial Event which you can use should
you so wish, but so is the Location Field, which can be used to complement
the Address, as Sherry

Thanks for comments, Ron. No worries on the dogma front. I'm not given
to it in any aspect of my life! However, not having concerned myself
with source citations since I left university 25 years ago, having a
guide such as the Mills book will get me 90% of the way toward

To confuse the issue more, I have an Aunt for whom I got her dates
from the headstone. But on another stone placed at the family site, I
got her parents, children, and grandchildren from it. So this is the

I avoid most source overrides. Partly this is because I can almost always
figure out how to make a template work in a way that is consistent with what EE
suggests, and partly because there were issues with source overrides when the
SourceWriter templates first came out. I can't
I use Evidence Explained, also by Elizabeth Shown Mills, and try to follow
