Cemetery Report help needed

Question

I need help. 

A bit of background about how I ended up working in a bunch of local cemeteries. Over the past 3 years I transcribed and published 2400 pages of my GGrandfather’s daily journals 1879-1913. He recorded not only daily farm stuff but doings of family, neighbors, customers, vendors, friends and relatives. I developed feelings for many these folks, and since they were all marrying each other and producing families, and facing catastrophes, the local cemeteries are full of em!

I started off making profiles for the main families in the journals, then to categorizing the folks in the various cemeteries. I figured while I was there I might as well categorize the rest of the people buried there who appear in the report as well.

Because of the way my brain works, I have a hard time coping with wikitree instructions and explanations, so I am left with questions, that others might find have obvious answers.

So here goes. Using the tiny Union Cemetery as example. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Union_Cemetery,_Roseville,_California and working from the Cemetery Report https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTCemetery/Cemetery.htm?cemetery=Union_Cemetery%2C_Roseville%2C_California

1. what do all the red entries refer to? I know it’s some kind of error, but what are the options to look for so I can correct them? As for the Philippi babies, my guess is to rename them on their wiki profile? 

2. as to "No FindAGrave Memorial Found” I understand that I have to make or find a FG profile for these folks. BUT why are they divided in two sections?

3. In the FG Cemetery Section, why are there “No Category” folks who actually have a category? Im sure I put one for them before the last update.

4. what is "ales"?

Thanks for the help in advance

There are two people in the No FindAGrave Memorial Defined

Higginson has no link to findagrave

Keys has a full stop before the link and this maybe stopping the report program from recognising the link. 

Good luck

Answer 1

Hi, I am Aleš.

Let me explain the report a bit.

There are 2 tables in the report.

First one is for the Cemetery category on Wikitree.

Category: Union Cemetery, Roseville, California

In a table, there are a few groups of profiles:

• No FindAGrave Memorial Defined: means that there is no link to findagrave.com on a profile. It is not an error, but you can add links on profiles to a findagrave memorial if one exists.
• No FindAGrave Memorial Found: means that there is a reference to findagrave, but a matching memorial was not recognized. All these do have a suggestion (Warning 572: FindAGrave - Linked grave not matching profile) These suggestions should be corrected.
• 3rd group (with a number): are profiles that match on both sites wikitree and findagrave.

2nd one is for FindAGrave Cemetery on findagrave.com

FG Cemetery:Union Cemetery

In this table there are 2 groups:

• No Category: means that a profile is linked to a findagrave memorial but isn't placed in the associated wikitree category.
• The other group (with a link to a category): lists the same matching profiles as above.

If there is a red or yellow background in any cell, that indicates an error, but there can be many reasons for it and I can explain them only on explicit examples.

Thank you Ales! :)

Answer 2

I'll see if I can help:

1. When I click on a profile or anything on the report, it will turn red.  That let's me know I have looked or worked on the profile. (Only you will see them)

2.The ones with no memorial found means there isn't a link on the profile.

3.If they are in the 2nd section, under the green box with the name of the cemetery, that means they already have the category in the profile.

4. Ales is the wonderful person that created all of our reports and such.  He has all the data bases and does all the Data Doctor reports.

Another wonderful report that Ales has made for us is a breakdown of cemetery reports in one.  It takes a little getting used to what is what but I used it all the time for all my Alabama Cemeteries I work on!  Here is the link: Cemetery Reports

Hope all this helps!

Thanks Sheila!

1. As to the red letters, they do not always change from blue if you work on the profile or look at the FG profile. Thats what confused me.

2. "No FindAGrave Memorial Found” I still do not understand why they are divided into two groups.

I think I miss understood your first question. Are you meaning the red letters on a profile or the report?  If it is on a profile, that means something is incorrect.  Can you give me an example.

As for the 2 sections on the report....the profiles ABOVE the green box with the cemetery name NEED the category.  The ones BELOW the green box already have the category.

I think I just confused myself!   Let me see if I can do a screen shot of the report and show you.
