  In March 2020, I was involed in an extensive a round of research on the Forsyth family, who are kin to our Christian family.  Working with Lynda Lewis, a Forsyth researcher, and Granville Murrphy, a Red River County researcher, I submitted extensive suggestions for the links to memorials for family and spouses of these Forsyth lineage individuals.  As relationship links to family members' burials began to be approved iit became appareent that there were two FAG memorials for our Lucy Forsyth.  A memorial with a grave photo appears under her married name of Lucy Pitts.
  
  Both these memorials were originally established by Granville & Patricia Murphy, but they are both now managed by Lawrence and Sue Dale.  Previously lacking the parent and family links which we added in March 2020, the duplication had not been recognized, even by the creators or managers of the two memorials.  These two memorials are for the same person.
