Hi Andrew,

Sorry that I nor anyone has been a help. I had tried looking around in
Genbox the first time and was lost for an answer...looked again this time
and also looked at my database using Access. A few observations and forgive
me if they are redundant, just stating what I found.

Only place I found "at Cemetery" was in the Local Prefix label for Burial
Events. Read up on how it is supposed to work and was trying to figure out
how this got into your Birth Event. (I figure that this Local Site prefix
should only be used if there is no Local site in your Place, am I right?
Also it is only used in Narratives?)

Tried adding it to my Birth Event the first time I looked into this and as I
recall I found no clues.

Tried changing Languages..nothing

Questions..

Where are you seeing it occur? Is it in random narratives and is it from
using one (or more) of your custom Event Templates? Do the Event Templates
have any modifiers on the Code for Places (L) that could be triggering it?

I looked around in Access and I could find no instances of the Local Site
prefix.

Trying to help, but no luck so far,
Rich
