I haven't had this problem myself, but just off the top of my head I think I might add text in the date field so it would read: Burial #1 7 Jul 1890 First Location....... Burial #2 8 Aug 1891 Second Location........ With a Footnote to explain the change. This would print in a logical way on reports. David Youse -----Original Message----- From: lyn Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 2:43 PM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Multiple BURIAL events (Was Number of Characters Allowed) Dave, thank you for mentioning this. It threw me into a short-lived panic as I have used the BURIAL event more than when a person was first buried in cemetery #1 and their remains later moved to cemetery #2. I just now checked the group sheet and register reports (2 reports I use most) and both BURIAL events show in the order listed on the EDIT screen. In the case I tested I had a date for the first burial but not have one for the second. I had them listed on the EDIT screen in cemetery #1, cemetery #2 order. Is there a better way to record when a body is moved from one cemetery to another? ----- From: Dave Bradshaw <davebradshaw@sympatico.ca> Subject: Re: [BK] Number of Characters Allowed Date: Sun, 27 May 2012 14:03:11 -0400 References: <579021D4621D4957A2FF7C6B8CC13957@Blackie> In-Reply-To: <579021D4621D4957A2FF7C6B8CC13957@Blackie> Carol: I know you can do what you say and it shows properly on the edit screen. Are you sure it will print that way say on a group sheet, I seem to remember that it printed only one instance of say buried. Give a try and see if its OK.

David, I do what you suggest. I always record the location. In the case I cited I don't know the date of the re-burial. I know the reason. The original cemetery was Wesley Chapel Cemetery in/near Frederick, Rice Co., Kansas, USA. Frederick was a thriving community in 1880-early 1900s. My great-grandfather farmed in the area and also owned a hardware store in "town". Today I have a souvenier cup from Frederick, Kansas. I sometimes wonder if it's the only one in existance! The current population of Frederick is maybe 6? Both my great grandparents and other kin were originally buried in this cemetery. At some point relatives (due to the town fading away and the church closing) decided to move the bodies of kin to other Rice Co. cemeteries they felt would be maintained. Some were moved to Lyons Municipal Cemetery, Lyons, KS and others to Springdale Cemetery, Chase, KS. I have similar instances of re-interrments of other relatives in other USA states.
