Russ I need your logic and ideas how to enter the following in my FTM 2017 program. I’m still (3 years later) in the process of cleaning up my 40 year mess, and FTM mess since Banner Blue days.

In the 16, 17, + 18 hundreds, all of my husband’s, and many of my dad’s ancestors and their descendants were buried in their parish cemeteries in Quebec Province. In many instances that parish has had as many as 5 different cemeteries with the same name in different locations. To further complicate the matter, in some, but not all, cases the bodies were exhumed and moved to the new cemetery. Some were exhumed and reburied as many as 3 times, and not always from the first to second, etc., sometimes from the second to the forth, etc.

This leads me to several problems:

I. When entering the Historic Place Name – do I put the name of the cemetery with a number in brackets, or do I put a note in the description field?

II. I have been putting a note in the description indicating from what cemetery to what cemetery? Is this the field I want to put this in?

III. What do I put as the preferred cemetery? The one they were buried in originally or the one they are in now. Using the historic and current name of the cemetery, I have some ancestors with 6 burial facts. Making custom facts ‘buried second time’, ‘buried third time’ might be an answer but it feels cumbersome. [Note: For report purposes, I currently put historic place names as my preferred.]

IV. I also have some ancestors, where the cemetery was destroyed in floods and the bodies ended up in the St. Lawrence River. Do I just make a note of that or is that a new burial fact.

Many thanks for your past and hopefully future help.
Debbie

I am so glad you told me about checking the sources and citations whenI merged my databases into one.

I am so glad you told me about checking the sources and citations when I merged my databases into one. I do not have a trouble with duplicates but now I am using the templates. This will pay off, no doubt !
