You can add the other memorial in a source to whichever event the information pertains, or to the Unspecified Event.
Unfortunately, FAG is rife with duplicates and totally erroneous memorials. Many contributors do not take the time and effort to thoroughly search before entering a new memorial; names are spelled in many different ways in many documents; FAG does not allow "about" years, and many contributors enter the "about" year as an actual year. Also realize that some duplicates are not cemeteries but cenotaphs (a tomblike monument to someone buried elsewhere). Also, some persons had their hearts buried in one place, their bodies in another, which can lead to memorials indentical except for the cemetery. FAG is better for recent times when spelling is standardized and exact dates are known.

Which one seems to be more accurate. (ie, tombstone with correct dates, burial location[does it correlate with SSDI], and sometimes I look at siblings, to see where there were buried.) Unfortunately you have to choose ONE memorial number. Henry From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Macaulay Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2017 1:22 PM To: Legacy User Group <[email protected]> Subject: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates Does any one know how to handle duplicate entries in Find a Grave in the new legacy field? What happens when a FAG number is deleted in Find a Grave after its been logged in Legacy? I am not worried about all this but I do have some 6000 FAG numbers in events that I would like to move to the FAG data window in Legacy 9, Just mentally running through possible traps.
