Ron,
That was my reason for the comment at the end. I to use the full address in
the location field as it was at the time.
The comment at the end considers another possibility.
Location: Fictional names used: Date: Before 1889
Full Address: 24 Randolph Street, Islington, Middlesex, England
Geoff,
like you , I'm a fan of documenting the location at the time of event.
At the moment the only sure data of a place is the global position.
What I do at the moment is to use the old name and then in brackets the
present name,
Eg. A place in present Poland at about 1940.

why not include the county name in the location as in your case.
The more data included in the Master Locations makes it easier to combine.
Why add data to a notes field the global locations, which have to be edited

Michele and Bernhard,
I couldn't agree more. Why use the street address in any location when Legacy
has an address section available for all events, individuals, marriages etc?
Using the full address just increases the size of the master location list
unnecessarily. If one had say 10,000
TMG recognizes these dilemmas and has 10 item list for location and a 10
item list for names. It permits the user to assign a name to a location
or name style, and permits specifying the text output permitted for
each style. Thus one can have a named style for each country appropriate
to that
Hi Ron. Your website is very well-designed and I like it! However, regarding

Having been raised in a rural area myself, my thought is that the Route 6

office probably divided up the area into several routes with each route
assigned a mail carrier. The mail carrier for each route knew the names in

That is correct. I don't think they do this up north. Route 6 is really
Rural Route 6 or RR6 which is a MAIL route not a street name. There are

Rural routes are still used all over the US. I'm a retired rural carrier
in Ohio and my son is currently a rural carrier. Routes change constantly
because of growth, so there's virtually no way of finding out what area a
route number meant for a certain time period, sorry to say.

That's fine. I can understand the need to do that in this case. But don't you
think it's odd that the default citation would be to use the last name only as
the owner of the letter?

No, it doesn't look right. And yes, you can put both the given and surnames
together in the surname field while leaving the given name empty. That's
definitely a workaround but I think that this is a bug.
I will submit it as such.
