I think I already know the answer to this question, but is there any way of avoiding duplicated Place DETAIL name at entry, such as with the following actual example: Sugar Grove Cemetery, Union Township, Clinton County, Ohio Sugar Grove Cemetery, Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio Sugar Grove Cemetery, Clinton County, Ohio The above are shown as an example of what I mean ONLY, but the cemetery IS truly not only in the city but in the township and county as well, all at the same time. Now approaching 58,000 individuals, each entered one fact at a time, I am starting to realize that some of my place details are entered twice because not only did the source state them inconsistently, but I did not catch them each at time of entry. With a place name entry, RM suggests a currently entered entry for you making is pretty easy to avoid duplication of places, but there is no such feature with place details that I know of. I don't know if such a feature is even possible given the structure of our place and/or place detail names, but speaking only for myself it would sure save me some time going back and correcting work already done fixing duplicate entries. I've even tried to find a report to list all place details in alphabetical order, so I can check it by county or some such every now and then, but I'm unable to think of any list, report or tool that effectively works for something like this. I welcome any ideas from anyone on this. Maybe the RootsMagician can come up with the means of using the "smart entry" tool (or whatever it is called) currently doing wonderful things with place name entries, and modify it to create one to work effectively in place details but I fear that may not be feasible. :-( David E.

David Using your examples - This is the way I enter them in my Place list with details: Union Township, Clinton Co., Ohio [and then IN Place Details] Sugar Grove Cemetery Wilmington, Clinton Co., Ohio [and then IN Place Details] Sugar Grove Cemetery Clinton Co., Ohio [and then IN Place Details] Sugar Grove Cemetery In that way I cut down on the number of places that are listed and can use them multiple times with or w/o the detail such as using the place only for the place of b, m or d and using the place w the detail as the bur. place for an example. Also there can be several different "Detail spots" within any one of the Places such as listing several cemeteries in a given city, twnsp, or County. Just MY peculiar way to do things. Good luck with your reorganization. Love, Lou Louis E. Love, O.D. From: David E.

David I forgot to add - I don't know why you could not do the same as I suggested in REVERSE - That is using your Cemetery as the PRIMARY Place and the City, Twnsp or Co., as the detail in order to detail all the folks buried in one cemetery for example. again, Good luck Lou ________________________________ From: David E.
