Pat (and Jess, too):
One day you'll probably be very thankful that you *did* write all those
little notes. It's often not enough to simply record where you found
something; you need to also record exactly what you found and, as Elizabeth
says, the place to do that is in the comments or detail

Why doesn't it seem logical to put a different location for each grave?
If you had relatives living in 6 different houses in a particular town would
you not use a different location for each address?
In effect their remains are in 6 (+-) locations. Therefore there should be 6
different
Sheri,
Interesting you should ask. I am in the middle of something similar.
I have several dozen ancestors spread out in one large cemetery (largest
city cemetery in the US!).
I visited the cemetery, took pictures of the gravestones, and recorded the
Latitude Longitude of each grave and I wanted
Duh! After all these years :-)
Many thanks Elizabeth

I do not know about the rest of the world but in England graves do have an
address eg Plot 24/379 which gives the row and number, similar to streets and
house. In some cemeteries which I know the row number, at least, is on the
reverse of the grave stone. They can also be obtained from the

That is all very well, but half my relatives have no stone, so we guess
a lot. I was thinking about trying to put markers on some of them, but
the cost is pretty high. Some of the cemeteries we have been in do not
have a lot of section markers either.

Separating date and place, for purposes of sourcing, would be enough for me.

In cemeteries with a simple rectangular format (such as an old church
cemetery and most US military cemeteries), the row and plot numbers may be
all you need.
Some rural cemeteries in the US have no particular order and thus no
row/plot designations. For these locations I usually include driving

Trying recently and without success to update LegacyCharting,

I felt compelled to point out something. I bought my GPS device with
the intent of getting a location for each and every individual grave.
The girl told me my device was accurate down to FOUR centimeters.
(For us none-metric users, four centimeters is about 1.5748 inches.
Not much at all.) So,
Another option for the plot address is in the Source Details.

I agree with Janis, who wrote, Separating date and place, for purposes

One reason I'd like date and place separated is because so OFTEN I have

just marriages.

Is there some reason you dont' put the Abt 1850 in the Alt Birth event and

I was just making all that up as an example. Doing a Swap DOES put the

which was precise.
Remember the ca 1850 was entered first, before the exact dob was found.
Thanks for your comments, though.

Recently there has been much discussion on this list about the construction of

I don't think what I said was as clear as my thinking, so I'll try again.
First step is that the information born Abt 1850 in Missouri, comes from
the 1880 census.
Then you have a chance to visit the cemetery and his headstone give a birth
of November 10, 1849.
