Categories
Profiles should always be placed in the lowest location category possible. That usually means the parish category where the person was born, married, lived for a very long period of time or died. It should never be the country, province, county or hundred.
Sometimes even a smaller category within the parish can be used. This could be the farm, croft or village. It should not be a specific street address and number. That information belongs in the biography of the profile.
