Christine, Don't know what MI means. Why not put the Plot location in the Description Field? That sentence structure is when you use Genealogy Reports where you include the Burial Fact.

But before I changed to do that I wanted to be sure I was not missing an easier or better way. I am now fairly confident there is no easier or better way. But now you mention this “sentence” and I was wondering about its relevance as I need to know where I see it before I can decide what I want in it.

For the Burial Fact, I use the Place Details for the Cemetery Name, the Place as provided by the Place Name Authority, and put the Plot Information, if I have it, into the Description field. Depending on where I got that information from, I would do other things. IF it's my Photo of a Headstone, that would be linked to the Citation for that Fact so that I can see the headstone with the burial fact, both in FTM2014 and in the AMT.

I am aware that I can add a description field to the Burial fact. What I was not sure of was whether that was the best option to take. However, when I open "Burial Fact Properties" I now get a "sentence" shown in that window. That is new to me and is presumably the sentence you are referring to. But I presume this sentence has no relevance to the AMT. Am I right in thinking this sentence will only show in reports (when appropriate)?

Russ, MI is Memorial Inscription. And I intend to put the MI and plot details in the Description field now I know I can’t have Fact Notes. But before I set that up I wanted to know the relevance of that “sentence” so I could think about what I wanted. Now I know.
