I'm wondering how I should enter cemeteries. Should I enter it in the "buried" field replacing the "city" with the "cemetery name:" >> Normandale Cemetery, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada Or should I include the city and cemetery: >> Normandale Cemetery / Normandale, Norfolk County, Ontario Canada >> Newkirk Cemetery / Walsingham Township, Norfolk County, Ontario Canada

You can do either, but since you asked, I will share what I am doing. Few examples: Suppose John Doe died Jan 17, 1955, Miami, Florida. I enter it this way: Given Name: John William Surname: Doe Born: 1898-10-20 In Frost, San Bernardino County, California, USA Died: 1955-01-17 In Miami Shores, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA Buried: 1955-01-20 In: Miami Shores, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA Ok, that much is pretty straightforward. Now if you are like me, you like to enter specifically where this person is buried. So, in the individual information window, I click on the plus sign, next to the globe and binoculars icon. At that window, I will enter an address; in this case I enter for Burial Address: Name: Locust Grove Cemetery Sort String: Locust Grove Cemetery (Note, some people say it is better to use: "Cemetery, Locust Grove," for search string. This is up to you.) Address: 1500 State Road 9 City: Miami Shores State/Prov: Florida Postal Code 12345 Country: United States Phone1: 123-456-7890 Phone2:333-333-3333 Email: LocustMemorial@ABC.com Home Page: www.LocustGroveCemetery.com [Note: The two hyperlinks are fake. They will not work- I made them up.] But if I know it, I go on to enter the specific location of the cemetery by entering the latitude and longitude of the main gate. I use this so that if I stay somewhere close, I can calculate how far away it is and decide if I have time to travel there. Now, suppose Jane James is buried at a farm cemetery, private cemetery. Then I either enter the name of the cemetery (or give it one), and the rest of the information is basically the same. For Jane, it might read: Name: William James Family Farm Cemetery Sort String: James, William, Family Cemetery Address: 15679 Highway 716 City: Prestonsburg State/Prov: Tennessee Postal Code 12345 Country: United States Phone1: 222-222-2222 (Genealogist #) Phone2: 666-666-6666 (Funeral home) Email: carnealre@adelphia.net Home Page: None. Latitude: 33.3333 Longitude: 0871449.19 Does this help?
