I have seen all sorts of problems with Find A Grave.

My great grandfather's tombstone has a wrong birthdate.

FAG has a great granduncle married to a woman and fathering a child that was 
not at all possible.

I thought SSDI shows where the benefits check was sent, not where the person is 
buried? My father died in California, was buried in Montana and the benefits 
check went to me in Washington. So the location for death can't be used for 
either death or burial location!

I have seen bad information beget more bad information. When I see two 
secondary or tertiary sources "match", I don't take it as gospel until I find 
the *primary* source!

I too have run across this… I use simple logic.
Which one seems to be more accurate. (ie, tombstone with correct dates, burial 
location[does it correlate with SSDI], and sometimes I look at siblings, to see 
where there were buried.)

Unfortunately you have to choose ONE memorial number.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

Does any one know how to handle duplicate entries in Find a Grave in the new 
legacy field?
What happens when a FAG number is deleted in Find a Grave after its been logged 
in Legacy?
I am not worried about all this but I do have some 6000 FAG numbers in events 
that I would like to move to the FAG data window in Legacy 9,   Just mentally 
running through possible traps.
