Find-A-Grave Memorial Numbers

Thomas Wilson said: While indexing I often use both "Family Search.org" and "Find-A-Grave.com" in an attempt to verify names.
Would it be possible to create a "field" in which the Find-A-Grave memorial number could be listed?

Chas Howell said: Thomas, creating a source is a good idea, I usually put http://findagrave.com in the URL field and put the Memorial number somewhere in the CITATION field, like "Greenwood Cemetery, Eufaula, McIntosh, Oklahoma, United States. Findagrave Memorial #1090211"; with what was written on the gravestone in the NOTE field.

It is not perfect but it does tell where I got the information, how to find where I got the information and what information is to be found there. The URL to the exact page may change, whereas the findagrave site URL and memorial number are more likely to stick around longer.

Ron Tanner said: I would put in the exact URL as findagrave.com is part of the URL and they could divine that it was on that website. With an exact URL, they can get to the information with one click. Still put the other information in the citation and notes - good job!
