Profiles using the "Find A Grave, Index," database, FamilySearch - No Find A Grave memorial found?

Question

Is this a known bug?

It appears that source does not reference the Find a Grave Profile ID #?

I've replaced with the URL: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/########/FNAB-LNAB

and hope that will correct the issue but it seems to be widespread.

Answer 1

Click on the FS link and go to Find A Grave from that index. When you get to the Find A Grave memorial, click the "View Source" then you can copy and paste that. That's how I do it, I'm sure there are other ways. I did replace the source on Ruth's profile.

Thanks for the star, Jim!

Answer 2

This just means that someone created that profile and copypasted that link in from FamilySearch. It's what you get when clicking "Copy Citation" of FG records there. Best to replace it with the link from Findagrave.

Answer 3

Some Find a Grave sources on Family Search have the ID, but not all of them. When the ID is not included, that is the citation that Family Search gives.  

The source added to Wikitree should always come from the Find a Grave page, not Ancestry or Family Search since those are not updated as soon as Find a Grave page may be updated.
