Scott and Brian and others Yes it is wonderful to have the FAG tool... Yes I screened a lot of FAG sites over the years. I was getting headstones sometime obits that included names of children, etc.
Now I don't have to get headstones which saves a lot of work creating additional events. Yes after having the new tool I am having to re-visit a lot of sites to incorporate the memorial number in my Legacy file. But, it is all worth it.. I have a hashtag created for everyone with a memorial number and it all exports in GEDCOM that I use on my TNG website. * Instant link to FAG memorial Still have a long way to go only have about 8400 so far done.

If you have MS Access or Open Office you may be able to do an update query to copy the FAG number from those events to the FAG data. Other wise you can search for those 5400 people with the Find A Grave Event, tag them with a Hashtag or numeric tag and then go through each one copying the numbers individually.
