Yes I understand how FAG runs and I do try and keep my records in order. When there are duplicates I flag them. I use events in legacy and keep both as Find A Grave memorial number 12345 & 54321 And send the edit request to the parties involved but you never know which will be valid and which not.
Also some folks just do not exist and have duplicate memorials such as at Vimy and Balmoral, ( Just names for sake of discussion) Both are valid but .... I guess I just answered my own question. However If you know the data is wrong you should supply the correction. The false data can change history and its really incumbent on you to try and correct it. Now How do I get the events to change to FAG numbers in the FAG Field. Ian On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 5:24 PM, CE WOOD <wood...@msn.com> wrote: > Yes, you can. The earlier memorial takes precedence.
