Use a note in Place Details that the cemetery spans multiple towns and into county area. Most likely the cemetery is actually in the county so as not to be in a taxed area. This is a common practice for cemeteries. Jon On Sat, Feb 28, 2015 at 4:21 PM, David E. Cann via < [email protected]> wrote: > Lou, > > I don't want to.

Jon, They're not all cemeteries though, in fact cemeteries are probably not even a majority of them. Something to say upon initial entry that place detail name is already used, such as what we have for place names. Even some sort of a list or report to check once in awhile could help weed out or merge the dupes, but there doesn't seem to be any such thing that I am aware of. David E.

Duplicates automatically merge - BUT MUST BE |EXACTLY the same to be a duplicate. Down to even a period or comma. Paul A. Studly, Esq.
