Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
I have the same situation for an aunt of my wife. Part of her ashes are interred in the United States with her husband and part are interred in Canada beside her parents. I have the second one as an event with a note that there is another memorial in the other location where the rest of her ashes are interred. Brian Kelly On 04-May-17 8:35 PM, C.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
FAG rules are that the first one in is the one kept regardless of the data, However I have seen exceptions. So I would recommend that you create an event or note that you can refer to and mark the duplicates or circumstances until the issue is settled. If the FAG number changes and you do not have it it will be much harder to adjust than if you have the FAG number and they remove it. If you catch my drift.I use Grave Inscriptions and embed the full Find a grave # 23343223 and Plot if its there. I am now also putting the number in the provided place in Legacy.When I have a duplicate I just log it as Find a Grave # 243554 & 4533323. The next time I am looking there should be one of the two still valid. Ian On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 8:35 PM, C.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
Sherry, Even primary document have errors. My maternal grandfather was born in 1880. Yet the official, primary county record give his gender as ‘female’ and his name as the female version. As for the discussion being far from Legacy, not really. With a primary record that contains errors, what type of record evaluation would be best recorded in Legacy to acknowledge those errors? And, where would you identify/record the errors, with corresponding proof? And, don’t forget identifying the Surety Level of that primary document’ information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
The ‘no trusting’ part goes for any site. I accept the info then go about getting proof. I wish I could come up my example I recorded years ago where I had 8 differences on one page between the English church transcripts – Archdeacon’s and Bishop’s. Which do you go by? Additionally I have spent a lot of time at the LDS library in Salt Lake City and witnessed firsthand how the family trees are put together. And online trees? Bottom line, don’t accept anything as gospel – I will accept it and then set about proving/disproving it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
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 wrote: > Yes, you can. The earlier memorial takes precedence.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
You can enter only one into the new FAG field so I would use an event for any duplicates (And I have found one or two people with duplicate memorial numbers. There was a discussion (I think it was on the facebook group) about this and apparently if you are a member of Find A Grave you can follow some procedure to report the duplication.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates
You can add the other memorial in a source to whichever event the information pertains, or to the Unspecified Event. Unfortunately, FAG is rife with duplicates and totally erroneous memorials. Many contributors do not take the time and effort to thoroughly search before entering a new memorial; names are spelled in many different ways in many documents; FAG does not allow "about" years, and many contributors enter the "about" year as an actual year. Also realize that some duplicates are not cemeteries but cenotaphs (a tomblike monument to someone buried elsewhere). Also, some persons had their hearts buried in one place, their bodies in another, which can lead to memorials indentical except for the cemetery. FAG is better for recent times when spelling is standardized and exact dates are known. Cheers, Carolyn From: LegacyUserGroup on behalf of Henry T.
