Sheri Gabbert said: My son, Joseph Roderick Brennan, born January 5, 1981 in Topeka, Kansas/died August 6, 2000, West of Halltown, Missouri.Your site lists his burial place in Kansas. He actually has two grave sites. One in Kansas (which you currently have listed) and one in Missouri. If you can only list one of the two sites, please list Salem Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri. Thank you. Sheri Gabbert

Firstly, "Welcome" to this "FamilySearch" ( "GetStaisfaction" ) 'Feedback' Forum.

Secondly, "Official 'FamilySearch' Representatives", do monitor; and, sometimes, participate in, this Forum.

Thirdly, I am just another User/Patron, just like yourself (and, happen to be a Member of the Church).

Many Users/Patrons who regularly participate in this Forum who have a great deal of knowledge and experience with "FamilySearch", like to assist/help other Users/Patrons like yourself.

Finally, it is NOT "FamilySearch" 'per se' that lists two burial sites.

There is one external "Web" sties that has the burial two sites (or, as that "Web" Site refers to them as "Memorials") as two different Cemeteries.

The external "Web" Site is "FindAGrave.com".

And they are:

Saint Marys, Pottawatomie County, Kansas, USA
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/1...

Mount Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri, USA
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/3...

And taking a look at those "Memorials", I see that the "Memorial" at "Mount Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri, USA" has an "Engraving" that says "HIS BODY RESTS IN MT. CALVARY CEMETERY ST. MARYS KS. BUT HIS HEART IS HERE AT HOME WITH US".

If you desire, you could add the Cemetery you prefer to the "Burial" record in "Vitals" Section, with a reference to the other Cemetery in the "Reason Statement" for that record; and, you could add the other Cemetery in the "Other Information" Section as a "Custom Event" titled "Actual Burial place" (or the like.).

Of course, you can ALSO "swap" that around, depending on your preference.

Your choice.

But, I would add BOTH, those, Memorials as "Sources" for your Son.

If you need any help let us know.

I hope this helps.

Are you referring to Joseph Roderick Brennan GQJG-XNQ ? If so, there is no Burial information entered in at all. You can put that data in yourself. You may also what to explain why there are two burial sites.

But maybe you are referring to some type of historical record? Not sure...

Tom Huber said: I have at least one relative who has two cemetery listings on Find A Grave (different cemeteries). I'm not sure which cemetery is the actual burial cemetery. You are fortunate to know which of the two your son is buried in.

Now to the situation. If there are actually two graves, then one of them is a cenotaph, which is a monument to someone buried elsewhere, especially one commemorating people who died in a war. That was the situation with my relative.

To include both cemeteries, list the actual burial cemetery in the Vitals section and for the cenotaph, in the "other information" section, use the Add information and select custom fact or custom event and title it as "cenotaph" and then place.
