I know of no better ways to find a particular gravesite than we have been doing. However, I have begun to record GPS readings on the gravestones. Found I could get a reading on my gggrandfather's stone. (Francis Hill b.1822 Clayhanger) Original reading by satellite varied 6" from cell phone reading laid directly on the stone when I visited. I now take GPS measurement readings on all sites and record them in my family tree file. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: "B.

How does everyone record a place of burial if the exact churchyard is not known? Generally Family Tree Programs have spots for Died Buried For instance, if the burial is noted in a Parish Church PR, does it necessarily mean they were buried there? In London, if a burial is listed in St Mary Fulham in 1857, would the child be buried there, or would just the service be held there, and the child be taken elsewhere to be buried? I have just started entering in Buried [place in my program] as... Service at St Mary Fulham, which then covers the fact that the child might just not be buried at that Church but in another cemetery. Where I live, no churches have a burial ground [unless in the country side], there is just one major cemetery and a crematorium. In the past, I have always just put the place of burial in the Church of the place the entry was found, which I know is not strictly correct unless there is a tombstone to prove it [or a Sexton's Book], but how else does one get around this?
