I've been putting the cemetery name in along with city (if it isn't a rural county cemetery), the county & state. I realize that the system does not like that, BUT as someone who has helped read a lot of cemeteries with my genealogy society, not having a cemetery name can lead to a lengthy search if one is making a genealogy trip. There are five Catholic cemeteries IN Omaha, about as many Jewish cemeteries, and ten others where they aren't as picky about what religion a person was and so have a variety of faiths buried there. That isn't counting the ones that aren't being used as much any more (or at all) and are still in or on the fringes of Omaha (like Winter Quarters cemetery, to name just one). The system managers may not like that, but I feel it is important, and if I can find out what cemetery, I put the name in. The system will take it if you don't select one of their pre-arranged options, and I find that it does come up later for me as an option to use. Karen In a message dated 5/23/2009 3:07:21 P.M.

I am familiar with that annoying problem. The nFS recognize cemeteries within cities in UTAH only. Not out of state. Salt Lake City Cemetery, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah is recognized yet Falls View Cemetery, American Falls, Power, Idaho will not be recognized. Neither will Mount Hope Cemetery, Baker City, Baker, Oregon despite they are INSIDE the cities. The system don't even recognize Lee Mission Cemetery, Salem, Marion, Oregon despite the fact it is smacked in the middle of the big city with nearest city boundary being more than 10 miles away. I pointed it out to them and I am slowly working on databases of those cemeteries to send to the managers so they will become part of standard place names lists. You have to go into nFS to do the forcing of cemetery names and placements. That is what I do to ensure accuracy. Beside all this, this was discussed on the forum for this program 2 years ago and the system managers backed off on their insistence that name of cemeteries be in the notes. The users won by driving the point about big cities having more than 1 cemetery. Salt Lake City proper has 15 cemeteries within the city boundaries on top of onerous notes you have to hunt through to find them. How many cemeteries are there in the CITY of New York City? Mind boggling. The system managers never thought of that.
