Find A Grave
Hi All,
I have been playing around with how to handle Find A Grave memorials.
When I find a memorial for an ancestor I add it to Zotero as follows:
Folder [Name of State]
SubFolder [Name of State Cemeteries]
SubFolder [Name of Cemetery]
See the first image.
I then use the connector and link without a snapshot. This auto files in the title the date and time accessed as well as a link. I then edit the title so it is surname first. Then copy the top part of the webpage and paste it into the "Abstract."
See the second image.
So far this method is working well.
Currently, I manage over 150 memorials and I wanted to be able to keep track of them and make notes. I decided to create a folder called FindAGrave with two subfolders. Managed Memorials and Requests sent. The requests sent are requests I have made to have memorials transferred to me.
See the third photo.
So far this seems to be working well.
Is anyone else adding FindAGrave Memorials and if so how are you handling them?
Thanks,
Ann

What a great idea, Ann. I don't think it would have ever crossed my mind to use the Connector in Find a Grave. I like it!
One more thing I do when I enter the memorial. I go down to the bottom and add the original creator as the author with the user name and their FindAGrave ID. If the memorial is transferred to someone else I add a second or third author and change them to a contributor.
