Some WikiTree profiles match with a memorial on Find-A-Grave.com. These suggestions point to differences between WikiTree profiles and the findagrave.com memorials.

When working on these suggestions, please keep in mind that FindaGrave is not a primary source. Research all differences to determine which entry contains the most accurate data.

Often FindaGrave memorials have family listings, obituaries, gravestone photos, etc., that could be clues to finding primary sources.

Warning

• The abbreviation for FindaGrave to use in comments or in emails is FAGM or FAM and more recently FG . The shorter acronym is offensive to many members and should not be used, or changed if it appears in a profile you work on.

Creating the FindAGrave Memorial Citation and Template

• If you find the FindAGrave memorial on an external site, such as Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org, copy the citation directly from FindAGrave.

• Go to the record's link and on the FindAGrave Memorial, click on "View Source."

• Make sure you replace the memorial number from the citation to the WikiTree FindAGrave Template.

Example: (pasting the FindAGrave Memorial "View Source" entire citation into the profile's edit box):

(https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/150395221/gladys-blodwyn-arthur : accessed 16 October 2021), memorial page for Gladys Blodwyn Jackett Arthur (unknown–Jun 1975), Find a Grave Memorial ID 150395221, citing Centennial Park Cemetery, Pasadena, Mitcham City, South Australia, Australia ; Maintained by Dwight Baker (contributor 47306645) .

• Edit the bold portion in the above citation in the edit box using the FindAGrave Memorial WikiTree template. Change the bold section above to appear as this:

{{FindAGrave|150395221}}

• Save the profile (you must leave a comment). Data Doctors Project members (badged Data Doctors) : if you are working on FindAGrave suggestions, identify yourself as a Data Doctor, copy the suggestion number and name, and explain what you changed or added).

• The citation should appear in the profile's private or public view as this: (Find a Grave citation with the FindAGrave Memorial Template)
