I have added a cemetery event for people. In the description of the event I put the words - Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Cemetery. If you do this, you can search on the Individual/Event-Description/Contains/Cemetery (or part of the cemetery name). Create a list and you can tag everyone in the list.
Another advantage to using a cemetery event is that I have the cemetery address on each record - with a photo of the cemetery entrance. I haven't seen any report that prints this photo yet, but am counting on it happening at some point. In the event notes section, I typed the tombstone inscription. I attach a tombstone photo if I have one. I also was able to make sure that I used the same words and spacing for the cemetery name on every record - for easy searches in the future. Ex: St John's, vs St Johns, vs Saint Johns ..... In the case of St John's, I have a cemetery named this in North Carolina and one in Virginia, so I typed all of the Virginia records as St Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery, and all of the the North Carolina records as Saint Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery. Now I can print everyone in one of these cemeteries using the search function, without the two being combined. In one instance, I used the search results to compare to an online list of the entire cemetery to make sure that I had found every relative who is buried in that cemetery. I also was able to make notes to check my dates on my next cemetery visit, where the online list had a different date than I had. I think this will be a good verification method. For tombstones where I do not have photos, I added an event name called Cemetery - Need Photo and use it until I get the photo and have it attached to the cemetery event, then I change the event name back to Cemetery. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Winfrey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging all cemeteries > Robert, > > There is no way within Legacy's tools to search and tag locations yet (at > least I can't find one).
