The major difference, of course, is the size of the place they occupy. I fail to see how that fact adds any relevant information to them or their lives. <snip>
Bill, In recognition that the information that we record will be useful to future researchers, I have recorded the fact that several of my family members had their ashes scattered at sites that were important to them. This does two things. I connects the individual to a place of significance and it tells a future researcher that they are not in a cemetery so they can not look for the cemetery information. [Many researchers look for the tombstones of ancestors, for information, and for a way to connect with and honor them.] Joan B Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
