Hi Deb,

I struggled with this issue awhile back, as many of us have. Everyone has
their own preference. My Master Lists are important to me, and therefore
so as to not disrupt the integrity of the Locations Master List by having
the names of cemeteries mixed in with the names of towns or cities, I took
someone else's advice and list my cemeteries in the same place between the
commas as the town, i.e.:

Name: Janet Izatt
Born: 19 Feb 1786, Culross, Fife, Scotland
Died: 4 Feb 1873, Wemyss, Fife Scotland
Buried: 6 Feb 1876, Wemyss (McDuff Cemetery), Fife, Scotland

This way when I ask for a sort on the town of Wemyss, I can see all who
lived, died or were buried in that town, and with all the burials at each
cemetery in Wemyss listed together.

Hope that helps somewhat. -- Alice
