I find the SmartCopy tool very useful. I noticed that it could use an update in how it works with the "Find A Grave" pages.
1. When I use SmartCopy on a Geni page to find a grave, it does not copy several fields into the query. In particular, it does not copy the birth or death year, so I have to add it manually, once on the Find a grave web page.
2. When I use SmartCopy to transfer info into Geni, it puts in a reference link to where the data came from but the link is to the old find a grave site (old.findagrave.com) which will be discontinued. Can it create a reference link to the new find a grave web site?
Thank you,
Karel
Karel Ehrlich i have noticed the link directs you to the old Find-a-grave site and have brought this to Jeff's attention.
Copying from Find-a-grave should transfer all dates, provided the dates are entered into the appropriate fields of the Find-a-grave profile. If the dates are just contained in the text section of the Find-a-grave profile there is no way to copy that except manually.
If SC is missing the dates when importing that is a bug that needs checking.
