cemeteries, monuments, and memorial sites

Petty Debra 53

When I located the cemetery (Palm Boulder Highway Cemetery) and I click show only my relatives there is only two that show up I have at least 15 relatives in this cemetery. How do I get all of them to show up under this tab?

I'm not sure where in Family Tree this function is, but here are some general things to check out as to why only 2 of 15 relatives show up in Palm Boulder Highway Cemetery.

1) Try and determine what definition of "relative" the routine is using. It might be narrower than what you think it would be or the routine may be limiting the number of generations it uses to calculate relationships.

2) Make sure all of those 15 people are actually in Family Tree. If not, add them.

3) Check the standard linked to the burial place for each of these people. To display, the cemetery name has to be in there correctly:

These will display because the displayed place name is the standard or is correctly linked to the correct standard:

These will not display because the displayed place name is not linked to the correct standard:

I suspect this is the starting point for the OP's question: https://www.familysearch.org/en/cemeteries/

It appears the Cemeteries Listed are fed by Find a Grave or Billion Graves.

I found my ancestor buried there and it pulled the Cemetery name from Find a Grave.

Family Search Burial only said:

It did not have the Burial information for Palm Boulder Highway in the Burial.

Warning, a pet peeve ... from my experience, when a patron attaches a source for the burial field with the source linker tool, FamilySearch software "drops" the cemetery name and then uses "United States of America" instead of "United States". In other words, FamilySearch does not adhere to it own standardization for place names. Thus, in the example above, the result is "Henderson, Clark, Nevada, United States of America" Of course, you always have the option to edit the burial field with a standardized place name after completion of attaching the source from findagrave.
