Alan, that is a great point. However, although my dad was cremated, his ashes have been "inurned" (yes, I believe that is the term the funeral home used!), so I do have "burial" information, including the cemetery. In this case, I have not considered also adding a cremation event. (I'm not even sure I know exactly when that occurred.) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

Using a separate cremation event overcomes this potential problem. I prefer to leave the Burial event blank and add a Cremation Event to ensure Gedcom compatibility. I use the Burial event only when I know there has been a genuine Burial.

But there is no need for another event; you can do all that if you have the cemetery as the location for the Burial Event. CE ________________________________ From: mich...@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Burial Location as a Cemetery Event Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:53:49 -0500 I don’t put cemetery names in the burial field. I use a separate Cemetery event. Why? Because I can use the notes area of the event to put the transcription of the marker and any other notes such as “grave is unmarked” or the section and plot number or even information about who all is buried in the same plot. I also attach a photo of the marker.

However, shouldn't this concept also be extended to other 'events' as well. In Australia, we only use a 3-place addressing system, so its really easy to slip in a patten of using a church or graveyard etc in that top level. Coming from a Christian background, I have lots of marriages and christenings and other events that take place in Churches, which would have a similar issue. So, would you advocate using a real event for each of these.
