I'm just learning how to use the brilliant Wiki Bee to bring FindAGrave cemeteries into Wikitree. But now I'm looking at one specific Buchanan cemetery in Mitchell County, North Carolina - when there are mutiple Buchanan cemeteries in the county... I realize the unique cemetery ID is some help - but in creating the name is there a way to differentiate?
Buchanan Cemetery (on Sandy Branch) vs. Buchanan Cemetery (White Oak)?

I encountered this problem in Lee County, North Carolina. I solved it by naming the cemeteries Cemetery-Name, (Street Location), City, State.

Since the cemeteries are named identically, there has to be something in their name that identifies them uniquely. Street location seemed the most sensible way to me.
