1) In Jokkmokk in the northern part of Sweden people who died during the winter was stored in the stone wall that surrounded the church until the ground was not frozen.
2) On Gotska Sand�n a small island north of Gotland they put the casket under ground but put a small pipe from the casket to above the ground when they waited for the priest. The priest sometimes only come once a year. When he come he did the formal burial and but the dirt through the pipe down on the casket. Then they removed the pipe and the burial was done.

Also, are you certain she died in February? A burial month/year does not necessarily mean that the death occurred then - many burials can be substantially delayed due to such factors as weather. A death certificate is needed for verification.

I just ran a Potential Problems Report and it came up with several instances of "Mother's Death Date is Bad" i.e. wrong format.
The date I had was Feb 1704/05 as the only date I know is the burial which was 15 Feb 1704 (ie 15 Feb 1704/05). I tried re-entering the date (as 2/1705) and Legacy altered it to Feb 1704/05 and then reported an error in the format. Why does the system object to "double dates" when only a month is stated, but is OK if the day is quoted as well?
