This is my lineage as created on Find A Grave. It begins with David Wilson and ends with my father, Ebb Wilson http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=wilson&GSfn=david&GSby =1774&GSbyrel=in&GSdy=1851&GSdyrel=in&GSst=45&GScnty=2430&GScntry=4&GSob=n&G Rid=70254425&df=all& To follow it all the way down - David Wilson > Hugh Preston Wilson > Wilburn H.

Finding obits and marker photos posted on memorials is VERY rewarding to any family history researcher! You are only partially correct on linking between parents & children. Only the manager of a memorial can create a link from a child to his/her parents after he has logged in to FAG. Links cannot be made from the parent to the child(ren). The only exception to the above would require using HTML in a biography area of the parent's memorial to link to a child. >From FAG's FAQ's How do I add a link from one memorial to another? In order to create a link in the biography of one memorial to someone else's memorial (such as the person's spouse or parent), you will need to use a bit of HTML code. It's hard to put into words, so here is an example (from Johnny Carson's biography which has a link to Red Skelton's memorial page): Pioneering Television Legend, Comic, Host. Carson began his entertainment career in radio but quickly moved to television. He moved to Hollywood to become a writer for "The Red Skelton Show." In the biography, you would need to type < a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=XXXXXXX">Name < /a> where XXXXXXX is the GRid number of the memorial you want to link. The GRid is a unique id for each memorial and as such is the only thing within the entire URL that must be included. The "Name" is what will show up on the screen as a link. You will need to remove the space between < and a at the beginning as well as the space between the < and / at the end. The spaces were added here to actually show you the code. You can also use "Add relationship links" on the memorial page. You can add the links to father, mother, and multiple spouses. Adding this information will automatically post the reverse information to the linked memorial as well.

Another option on Find  A Grave is to set up a virtual cemetery for your ancestors that have memorials. This allows them to be consolidated even though some of the links are missing. This is the start of mine. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=vcsr&GSvcid=429227 .   Dennis ________________________________ From: "LWilson181@aol.com" <LWilson181@aol.com> To: wilson@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2014 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [WILSON] Using Find A Grave This is my lineage as created on Find A Grave.  It begins with David  Wilson and ends with my father, Ebb Wilson  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=wilson&GSfn=david&GSby =1774&GSbyrel=in&GSdy=1851&GSdyrel=in&GSst=45&GScnty=2430&GScntry=4&GSob=n&G Rid=70254425&df=all& To follow it all the way down - David Wilson > Hugh Preston Wilson >  Wilburn H.
