During my Data Doctor rounds, I noticed this profile is on my check-up list for Suggestion 586 - Linked to a merged Memorial ID for Find A Grave. You can read more about this here on the help page for this suggestion: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_586
I sent you a Private Message with the corrected citation and template for the new memorial. If you will, please copy and paste that citation from the PM and replace the old link. Also, please delete any reference to the old memorial as it will continue to generate a suggestion error. You will only need the new citation on the profile.
The profile is locked, so I cannot make the changes. I appreciate your help and please let me know if I can help you in any way!
Thanks, Sheila
