Thanks for the feedback. Jay: creating a new Burial Event may be useful for me. I have put the Memorial # into the Legacy Find A Grave ID so I can find it (one only occurrence so far). I do follow-up much the same as you describe. I guess many of us have seen information on the gravestones that conflicts with other recorded data; and on the other hand, supplementary information about other family members. Martha: Apart from obituaries in newspapers, I haven’t come across obits that I would relate to a gravestone. What do you mean?

"Jay" Ingalls Sent: Wednesday, 28 February 2018 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Find a Grave - Australia I paste the info into a new event for the person, called "Burial Record". Use the data as a source if appropriate to add birth and death dates and places, even parents, spouse, children, etc., if that is included. Then look for more data from other sources to verify that data is correct. I add the appropriate info to the description field. For FindaGrave, that includes the "memorial number". Then add the appropriate data to FamilySearch.org.

But I just located one grave via FaG which I knew of already (using Billion Graves, and by visiting the cemetery where I knew several relatives were buried; the others not found by FaG). I copied the information to the clipboard (and pasted to a text file) – but what do others do when a ‘hit’ is obtained? ILT Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia
