G2G: Help to add Black cemetery in TN

Question

Looking for help to add a cemetery to this forum where many of my African American ancestors are interred. Old Jones Chapel Cemetery in Grand Junction TN. Located on Ames Plantation property.

Answer 1

Hi Marvin, I see this has been taken care of for you. Going forward if you come across any other African-American cemeteries you can add the category, US Black Heritage Project, Needs Cemetery Category Created, to the profile and we will be happy to take care of it for you! Thank you!

Answer 2

I created the category [[Category:Old Jones Cemetery, Grand Junction, Tennessee]].

Thank you.

Hello   I am having trouble adding this new category cemetery to my ancestors profile. The link is showing red with no tag. When I click on it, I cannot edit. Here’s the profile I was working on. What am I doing wrong?

[[Turner-23985|Alexander L. Turner (1853-1914)]]

Hi Marvin, it needed the word Category for it to work. I've corrected the category.

Thanks so much Emma. I have quite a few ancestors buried at that cemetery and I wanted to get some noteriety on its presence.

Now that the cemetery is in our system, our project will make sure it's fully documented at some point. We don't have a Tennessee Team yet, but we will.
