I started a new project in Legacy in the beginning of December adding Find A Grave memorials to my Legacy database. In the process of going through my list and going to findagrave.com to find the memorials I found my 5th great grandparents. The best part was I wasn't even really looking for them. They are from a line that I have not done a lot of research on. Easy find! Because of this I ended up adding close to 100 people to my tree that need more research done and Find A Grave information added.
Another discovery that I made was that some of the memorials that I added to my database a few months ago had changed and there was a lot more information added to them. In the screen shot below is the information I added on 19 Jun 2014. It includes birth and death year, his parents, his spouse and one son.
When I went to Find A Grave today and looked at Wilson Houseknecht's memorial I found different birth information, more complete death information, his parents, his spouse, a list of children and a list of siblings, and a photo of his headstone (see image below).
I was very excited about all of the new information but now I wonder how many other memorials have changed that I don't know about! Do I need go through them all and look for any changes?? I wish there was some kind of notification system that would send me an email weekly with memorials on my watch list that have changes!
How would you handle this??
