The one question you asked I understand. When you search for a place using 'contains' it finds the word whereever in the field, When you use 'equal to' all the periods and spaces must match also. Rich in LA CA

It reads as though you have probably put them in the Address Book. To do this you would have had to have clicked on the grey plus sign (coloured blue if there is an entry) at the end of the buried fields. The other would be in the Location field which follows the word "in" in the buried fields. If it is the former then you can Search, as you were in Detailed Search, and searching the appropriate field in the Address Book. Look down the drop-list for "Where to look" and you will see them. In the "how to Look" select "contains" and put the cemetery name in the last box. You may need to first check which line in the Address Book contains the name. In the second case choose "Burial Place" and again use "contains" rather than "equals." If you have entered the data in a different way, or hit a problem, please come back to us, giving very precise details.

I have the cemetery listed under burial rather than the date and the town, county and state listed in the next field. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how to do that. I have been trying to do it under the detailed search but am not having any luck. I know there are some buried there but not sure who and I have someone that will take pictures of the tombstone if I can give him names. Thanks for any help someone will give me.
