Hi Wikitreers,

I came across this veteran (CSA) who is categorized in the wrong cemetery it would appear and needs the correct category added. 

Need cemetery category for Shiloh Confederate Burial Trench, Hardin County, Tennessee, USA

See FindAGrave link: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2281414/shiloh-confederate-burial-trench

Thank you

Thank you!

This cemetery has 116 memorials and only 24% complete. I was surprised it wasn’t on Wikitree yet.
Sometimes when creating a category with only one profile attached, I look for another to add and for this one I selected [[Cypert-131|Jesse Anderson Newton Cypert (1844-1862)]] but when I went to add the new Shiloh category he had  Shiloh National Cemetery category attached. I changed it as he is listed as buried in the mass burial with the others that sadly died on 6 April of 1862 but wondering if there are others on WikiTree with wrong category.  Going to brainstorm a way to check on that
For veterans of the CSA I’m finding the KIA sticker and categories are for union members so fixed that and likely those CSA buried in the trench they are categorized in the shiloh cemetery as well
