If a person can have multiple addresses (even over time), and you want to
keep track of them, then yes, you need another table. The same is true for
phone number, although some people will advocate having a general "Numbers"
table in which you store phone, alternate phone, cell, email, fax, etc. You
have one field for the foreign key (of course), a field for the type of
number (phone, email, etc) and then a field to store the actual number.
