Adding Profiles to Cemeteries

Question

Under the 16 for 16, there are two main Cemetery projects;

I need to make sure I understand them clearly.

1. Profiles from a Cemetery Category

So I go to say Weston Cemetery in Weston, Umatilla County, Oregon and I find headstones, and take photos of the headstone (especially if it is not already on Find-A-Grave at that Cemetery) and I find their is presently no profile on WikiTree, so I can make one.  It would be considered a profile from a Cemetery Category?

2. Profiles to a Cemetery Category.

I have a profile of say my father and I add a flower to his Find-A-grave and I note [[WikiTree|3935]]  I have then added a Profile to a Cemetery Category?

Is this correct?

When I read the 16 for 16 list I understand it much differently that you are describing, concerning cemeteries, My take on the requirements that involve cemeteries::

• Add 16 profiles to a cemetery category - We place the category on 16 profiles.  
• Connect 16 profiles from a cemetery category - we find unconnected profiles that  already have the cemetery category and work on getting them connected to the Big WikiTRee.
• Add WikiTree "flower" to 16 Find-A-Grave profiles - we place a WikiTree flower with WT profile link on Find A Grave profiles. and i haven't figured out how to do that.  I've read a few G2G posts and saw an example but still unable to figure it out.  I have left flowers on FG but don't know how to leave the WikiTree logo as a flower with profile link.

Hi Patricia and Alice!

Here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Link_Builders_Team you'll find full instructions and a tutorial video made by Azure on how to link profiles to Find-a-Grave by adding a WikiTree flower. You'll also find the WikiTree logo to create that flower.

Patricia Thank you

Vicki thank you. I'll review the video.

Answer 1

There are four missions that are related to cemeteries. 

1. Add a profile to a cemetery category is quite easy. Just add an existing (Or create a Cemetery category) and add it to a profile. As long as there is some source that ties the profile to the cemetery it is all good. 
2. Connect a profile from a cemetery category. This is connecting them to the main tree. The profile has to be at least a day old to show up as unconnected
3. Add a statement in the biography: "See WikiTree.com Profile: Wiki-ID:" to 16 profiles Find-A-Grave profiles . This one is adding information to a FindaGrave profile to link back to Wikitree. Very similar to 
4. Add WikiTree "flower" to 16 Find-A-Grave profiles .

 For the points you specifically asked.

Your first point would count under the **Add a profile to a cemetery category** mission.

The second point about adding a Flower to your fathers Findagrave profile would only count for the Add WikiTree "flower" to 16 Find-A-Grave profiles mission and has nothing to do with a Wikitree Cemetery Category.

Darren thank you very much.

Yes I have the Flowers seperate from the other cemetery projects.

Answer 2

Both the category and profile must exist in Wikitree. Follow the steps in the link below under the title how to categorize a profile.

You don't need to do anything on Find-A-Grave page.
