Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

[Sharon Blair]

On the F.A.G. sites I have posted pictures & info I give open permission for 
others to save them - with a caution many times there are pictures & info 
posted from several people I can only give permission for my own. And the 
contributors names do appear.  And I do think people should be more open to 
sharing, to me it isn't just adding numbers but helping people. But I am a 
little selfish in feeling that actual relatives should be given preference over 
strangers just posting stuff for the numbers. I am not in a contest.  Sorry 
about the gripe it's just my thinking.

If the person has given blanket permission to use the photo it depends on how 
it is worded on whether or not I still email them.  I have an Excel spreadsheet 
where I keep track of all the people I have received permission from.  When I 
ask for permission I ask for not only that photo but any other that they might 
have taken that I find later.  I also tell them that I write for 3 blogs and 
that I might need that photo at some point in a post to make a point.  I always 
tell them that full credit to them will be given to them as the photographer.  
I am yet to be turned down. Most send me an email of thanks for taking the time 
to ask their permission.

If the photo was taken by someone that is now dead, I put in a new photo 
request with an explanation on why I am asking for a new photo.  I have had to 
do that a couple of times and it was no problem at all.

Thank you Michele



It is great that you wrote this up for us. The only other step I would add is 
to check the photo submitters profile because there are some that have in there 
profile that users can feel free to use their photo. My Aunt is on of them (she 
has submitted over 500) and I know that she would like not being bothered with 
a request to use one of her photos since it is in her profile.

TIP OF THE DAY (Legacy Staff) - My current project

(Legacy 9)



I have been doing genealogy a long time, long before Find a Grave (or any other 
website for that matter) existed. Back in the day you either visited the 
cemetery yourself or you used a cemetery survey book. I have A LOT of people 
that have a cemetery survey book as a source.

A picture of the actual tombstone is better evidence than a transcription of 
the tombstone in a cemetery survey book so I have tagged everyone in my file 
that uses a cemetery book as a source (easy to do on the Master Source List). I 
am using the tag navigation tool in the extreme bottom right corner of the 
Family View to go from person to person. It looks like this I:2. In this case I 
am using Individual Tag 2. You can navigate by using the forward and backward 
arrows and you can change the tag number by clicking in the center of that 
button.

I am using the new FaG tool to help my find these people on Find a Grave.

1) If there is a FaG memorial with a photo, I add the FaG number to the new FaG 
field, I create a new source and I delete the old one, and I ask permission of 
the photographer to download the photograph to my file. I then untag the person.

2) If there is a FaG memorial without a photo, I request a photo and I untag 
this person but I then tag them on another dedicated tag letting me know that I 
am in a holding pattern. I do not change my source citation. I never use FaG as 
a source unless there is a photograph.

3) If there is no FaG memorial, I add one. I know the person is buried there 
because I have a cemetery survey book that says so. When I create the memorial 
I put full source citation to the book and I request a photo. I then untag them 
from this tag and tag them on the other tag (my holding pattern one). Again, I 
don't change my source, not until I have a photograph.

So what happens if I request a photo and the FaG volunteer advises that there 
is no marker? Then my cemetery book remains the best evidence. Some of the 
books I use are quite old and I have found many instances where the

Linda, I am just looking at it a little more - It is kind of fascinating. It 
uses all the info you have entered for a person & has places to look for more 
info. But I think it is way more info than we had before or it could be I 've 
just not delved into it.  But fascinating [😊]

Hi Linda I was hoping you would be on.  I did figure out that line of objects 
turns color when there is info in it.  I did click on the research guidance & 
it does look like something useful - kind of a shortcut for one of the things 
have taught us - making a research list. but I think before it was in a 
different function - this one is now right up front .  Hoping we are getting 
closer to #9 with these little hints happening,

Thanks so much, I really am not getting more wacky after all.

I have no idea how long it has been there!  It's a direct link to Research 
Guidance.  I guess I never noticed it before - or maybe it wasn't in color 
before.  But the last build date was almost a month ago (25 Feb), so it's been 
there and colored at least that long.  There is so much to see on every page - 
I miss a lot of it.
