When adding information under the [ Other Information ] tab, and the [ Religious Affiliation ] tag, should I provide the name of the Church attended or limit it to a denomination?

    .

    The choice is yours ...

    You certainly can, if you would like ...

    There is no hard or fast rule ...

    .

    Perhaps, you could add the actual name of the Church (ie. Building; and, street address plus locality) after the name of the Denomination/Faith.

    .

    There are many ways that such can be added.

    Play around, see what seems/looks the best.

    .

    Again, your choice.

    .

    I hope this helps.

    Very good ... I just wanted to follow "accepted practice" as I have flubbed before on some things LOL and did not want to go back and correct a bunch of entries. I believe I'll put the church name and locale in that field. Thank you Brett.

    We have all made mistakes ... 'flubbed'

    You are not alone ...

    Better to ask, than be sorry ...

    But, remember, that is just my thoughts ... others may think differently

    Each to their own ... just do what feels right for you

    Brett

    ps: I always include the Name, Denomination, Street Address and Locality in the Christening field in the Vitals (not to mention all the other fields, if I know the FULL details/address - Hey, but, that is just me.
