Searched for: TWO PASSES THE SAME DAY. (1) NAME SEARCH: Margaret Kinney, b. 1870 +/- 4, d. 1935 +/- 3, New Jersey, USA. (2) CEMETERY LIST: Andover Cemetery (id 942847) memorial search, surname Kinney, no other filter - 20 matching records. (link)
Result: PASS (1) WAS A NULL - "No matches found" - AND IT WAS WRONG. PASS (2) FOUND HER IMMEDIATELY, filed as "Margaret Luella Cooper Kinney", 2 Sep 1870 - 22 Apr 1935, memorial 19691391, now [G.693]. The name search missed her because her memorial carries BOTH her maiden and married surnames and the search was run on "Margaret Kinney" alone with a state filter. THE SAME LIST ALSO SETTLED THE DUPLICATE QUESTION: "Albert P Kinney, Apr 1870 - 13 Jul 1944, 19691408" and "George R. Kinney, 1867 - 1939, 19511070" are two separate memorials in one cemetery. Both were then parsed -> [G.693], [G.694], Albert P. Kinney. LESSON RECORDED: for a married woman, the cemetery list is a different index from the name search and can succeed where it fails.
