Jerry,
Please let us be clear, fields that are really designed only for the
traditional LOCATION / PLACE divisions. These fields are not traditional.
They are based, as I have said previously, on an artificial convention which
arranged for a location to comprise 4 fields. Whilst this works in
I'm one of the folks who use the Buried/Location field for cemetery names

quite a mess. However, I got rid of the jumble by entering every cemetery as
follows (example):
Cem: Trinity Cemetery, Sylvania, DeKalb,

I doubt if the use of a colon will make any different to the mapping
function, and the rest of the location certainly doesn't - it is basically
the format I always use, and I do use the mapping facility. In fact from the

Thanks for the baby steps, I followed the instructions, changed and
saved the Contents to red and Contents Back to green. The text

This is a nice feature, would be even nicer if it showed up on the Family View!

Jerry,
There is not a standard way of expressing locations within the UK, Ireland
and the Isle of Man. The format is always smallest to largest, the latter
being one of the countries comprising the UK, viz. England, Northern
Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

I enter burial/cemetery events so I can attach Headstone pictures that

fields I can put the complete address and GPS coordinates of the
cemetery ( That

Ah yes, that's what I missed in the e-mail I just sent. The only way to get

Ward, speaking about the ADDRESS + NOTES next to the BURIED LOCATION and

By default, the chart should be centered. It's possible you moved it around.
On the side toolbar, click on the button which is third from the

click anywhere on your chart and drag the chart to the position you
want it in.

I don't think that I am being too rigid at all. The last name in a location

Ireland which are the constituent countries of the United Kingdom, the
latter being a Kingdom comprising an alliance of countries. Note that

with respect you are doing the very thing that I suggest is wrong. You are
correct in the the UK is a Kingdom, an alliance, and not a country, as I said
in my reply to Scott. But it is equally wrong to put a comma after a county,
there isn't a layer between a county and the country. It
Sorting the Location list right to left, as has been mentioned several

Hi Ron. I understand your desire to be true to the correct way for
your country. However, since I want to see all the names sort properly
in a list, I'll go ahead and insert that extra blank field. As I see
it, no harm done because it is just a blank anyway. I have a cousin in
Canada I work
But unless the event took place in the modern UK, why would you even consider
putting it into the location field? The country such as England should be the
last entry in the location field. So my grandmother was born in 1881 in:
Saint Vincent Villa, Lynton, Devon, England
And yes,
Hi Mary. I understand what you are doing. I just don't like it
because it creates many different location names for the exact same
place. Hence, we decided to modify the location, when necessary, by
using the extra (+) note field. Just seems to me that if you want to
find every person born
I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the help.

Jerry,
Clearly we are not going to agree on the subject of place names, and I do
not agree with what you say below either. Place names should be those used
at the time of the event, and not only from the point of view of accuracy.

Thanks, Ron. I don't disagree with you on accuracy - just how that

I don't understand why you say that you can only get headstone pictures with a
