Correct? Couldn't find a tombstone/gravestone tag.
I would like to be able to show somewhere/somehow that other persons
are buried at the same site or stone --- but obviously, these persons
are not "witnessess" to the event. Am reluctant to call them witnesses
as it may be misconstrued that they were live witnesses to the burial.
Is there anyway to do this and show the information like witness
information is shown or would it have to be shown in the memo attached
to the burial info and then repeat this memo for each person?
Thanks for help. I did look in the manual and checked the help screens
but am unable to find anything. Probably some simple answer, but this
program is so awesome, I am overwhelmed with all the stuff that can be
done!

I didn't want the gravestone info to be output on all reports, (mainly those
for family members who aren't into genealogy) So, I created a separate Grave
tag in the other group. This way you can exclude the info from certain
reports and have a more than one principle. My sentence reads The Gravestone
reads: <[M]>. The witnesses sentence reads the same in case other people are
on the gravestone. I use a sort date to place it after the burial. If there
is multiple people it can be a little tricky but I place it after the lasted
burial.
