(Hope I got the HTML turned off properly)
This is a rewrite of my reply several years ago to a poster who asked
how to combine old names and new names for the same area ... here's how
I handle that and other similar problems ...
Brigham (old bridge by the river), CountyName, NJ, US
Brigham (River Road), CountyName, NJ, US
Brigham (Trinity Churchyard), CountyName, NJ, US
It's a little unorthodox, but very understandable ... and ALL the
Brigham names will sort together for your research runs.
I take it right down to house numbers ...
Brooklyn (Flatbush Avenue 123), Kings, NY, US
Brooklyn (Flatbush Avenue 483), Kings, NY, US
Brooklyn (Ocean Parkway 124), Kings, NY, US
Done this way, the addresses sort first by location (Brooklyn) and then
by street names and then by street numbers.
If you enter the street number first and then the street name, 124 Ocean
Parkway would sort in the middle ... and 126 River Road, Ames,
CountyName, Iowa, US would sort into the middle of the Brooklyn numbers.
I use much the same way in Scotland ...
West Shaw Street (30), Kilmarnock, Ayshire, Scotland, UK
William Street (10), Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, UK
It's best to think of things from the top down ...
country/whatever1/whatever2/whatever3 (with only four levels in Legacy,
most of the whatever ends up here).
As I said, it works for me ... and that's who I'm trying to please.
