Suggestion 572 FindAGrave - Link without matching profile
Topic Video: Mr E Figures Out Find A Grave
Possible Causes
- All links to FindAGrave memorial are links to relatives.
- Names and dates are not similar enough to classify them as a match.
Action Steps
- If all of the links are links to relatives, try finding the profile person's memorial and add it as a source. You can also use {{FindAGrave|1234|sameas=no}} for relatives.
- If one of the links is to the person's memorial, there must be a significant difference in names and dates. Check them to see if they are correct. If you find the error, correct the data. You can also use {{FindAGrave|1234|sameas=yes}} for memorial of the person.

Claim of Aldrich as maiden name cannot be verified by me even in Aldrich book, which only gives Susannah's first name marrying Samuel May. One of their son's married an Aldrich. I have one Aldrich book. All sources I show on her profile only give Susannah's first name. I do not see any sources at findagrave that supports Aldrich for her maiden name. This is one of my wife's ancestors and it has been carefully researched to no avail on Susannah's maiden name. Unknown-511352 H 102819111 Susannah May (Unknown) before 1745 not living Female Leighr-1 102819111 Susannah Aldrich If someone can suppy a proof doc, my wife & I would be grateful.
