I was relatively lucky on that one. I only had 4000 in my database and 2000
in my husband's :) :)

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] burial addresses on web pages
I've already changed a bazillion. LOL! I, just on a whim, tested out the
web page feature - actually, I just noticed there was an option to do so.
And that's when I discovered there wasn't an option to show the burial
addresses.
I really haven't entered facts in the events section. As I said, I'm a new
convert from FTM and have spent my time "cleaning up" locations, etc. I
wouldn't have thought of entering "cemetery" in the event section, as I
don't consider "cemetery" an event. Guess I need to look outside the box on
that one. I think of an event as something that occurs, not a place. And
certainly not an occupation, as I found as an event option.
I'll get there one day - only 35000 more names to go! :):)

I'm also a recent convert from FTM. After trying
cemetery names in the burial address field and as a
separate event, I decided to just leave my cemetery
names in the burial field. Entering the cemetery name
as an event seemed to be a duplication of info since
the date, city, county and state were entered in both
the burial field and the event. Another reason I left
it in the burial field is because I didn't like the
way my Gedcom to HTML program treated it when it was
in either the address field or as a separate event.
(I know Legacy will create web pages but I haven't
even started checking out that feature yet, plus I
like the program I'm using for web pages.)
The bottom line is just because Legacy has a burial
address field doesn't mean you have to use it. I
would recommend that before you start changing thngs,
check out how it looks in reports and web pages. The
great thing about Legacy is there is more than one way
to do lots of things and you can use the one you like
best.

Oh how I can relate! I too came over from FTM. I
had to take the cemetery
out of the burial field.
The easiest way to do it is to do a search in the
burial field for the
following words
Cemetery
Gardens
Memorial
Acres
You will get 99% of them that way.
Then just tag the records. You can go through at
your own pace once person
at a time to fix it.
I am one of the ones that prefers to put the
cemetery as an EVENT instead of
the burial address For one reason is most of my
cemeteries don't even
remotely have an address (out in the middle of the
woods). Another reason
is that there is a date attached to the burial and
so it shows nicely up in
the chronology. I also use the cemetery event as
one of my 5 options to
display on the family view so that I can see the
cemetery just like I could
in FTM.
When I add it as an event, I can also add any notes
(unmarked grave, broken
marker, name on tombstone is spelled Charlie, grave
located at R1C5F60,
birth date on marker 04 Sep 1802, WHATEVER)

Thank you for the reply. Sounds like another big
project. I am a
relatively new Legacy user, coming from FTM, in
which the name of the
cemetery transferred to the "buried in" field. I've
been going through my
location list and changing the "buried in" field to
show city, county,
state, country, and then putting the cemetery in the
burial address field.
I'll be so glad when I get all this cleaned up and
can start doing actual
research again! Thanks again.
