Here is a solution that provides a some what open ended method of handling your needs. It does not incorporate it directly as you desire, but does provide many optional expansions. Create a separate database called Places. Enter the location either as a unlinked name, or build a logical tree from country, state, county, and city. For each entry, create various facts such as GPS (coordinates), History, Maps, Churchs, Hospitals, Cemeterys, etc. Use the Notes for details, and the Multimedia for pictures. I have two similar databases I created several years ago. One is for General Genealogy Information, and the other for Maps. The General database contains all types of misc genealogy stuff like Cousins (1st, 2nd, removed, etc), Royality and Titles, Naming Conventions, etc. I also keep some technical information there such as how to create a self-starting CD for the generated Web Pages and how to upload a Web Page to different places. I even put my login info there for maintaining the site. The Map database is similar where it starts with the Continents, then Country, State, County, and City or Town. The facts are for which year or time period the map represents. Actual maps are linked to the facts using the Multimedia function. Be creative and who knows how many ways you can use your FOW/RM product.

Thanks a million Dick.... what a fantastic idea.... My mind is a blur, thinking of all the additional uses for the program. It is wild. Why didn't someone bring this up years ago......... Wow!!!
