Burial Plot

Re: Burial Plot

I would just like to know where others include any information on the specific burial plot/location/grave number, etc. in an individual's record?
I appreciate all ideas.
Thank you,

Hi Frank

I made the terrible mistake of using what to me was logic and putting them in the source details field. My logic was 'same place, different 'page' so to speak.

I figured that I could then print out a list of 'name, source and source detail' to take with me to the cemetery. Copy to excel, sort in order etc etc. Seemed a great idea - until, thousands of records later, I discovered that no, you can't do that - or rather you can, eventually, but in such a complex 'not in the manual' way that I was tearing my hair out.

I have requested the ability to do this - ie have 'source detail' available as a column heading when doing a 'find' - but nothing yet.

As I said, seems logical to me to want to be able to have a single source for the master record - eg a book; then the different page numbers in the details column which you can then list and order. Instead, you have to either have a different source for each 'page' - or as has been suggested, put the page number in the memo field.

Re: Burial Plot

I put that information in the memo field of the burial line under events too.

Frank, what I do is enter that information in one of two places:
1)Under the Events tab, under Burial event, in the Memo field
2)or the Facts tab, under Cemetery fact, right after the name of the cemetery, in parentheses

Re: Burial Plot

Hi Frank,

I'm like Kaye in that I use the "burial"entry to add place and burial plot, if known.
I seldom use the "memo" field in Burial mainly because I tend to keep a smaller edit page open and in doing so wouldn't see whats entered.

Re: Burial Plot

Kaye,
Thanks--you always have good ideas. I will wait to see what others do as well, before entering.
Thanks,

Hi Frank, I use the memo field for the Type-Burial. See attached clips
