QUESTION: Where does LIBINDX get it's information? REASON: I have reason to believe that incorrect information has been posted on their site. I am trying to fill-in some of my branches and here is what I am looking for; The family of James Innes and Barbara Moir or Stewart. I do know that this family is buried in the Kirkmichael Cemetary with the Libindx No: Km73. The dates of their births does not correspond with their actual dates. Here are the actual dates. 1)Alexander Innes 2 Oct.1808 2)Elizabeth Innes 10 June 1810 3)Thomas Innes 19 March 1813 4)Helen Innes 12 December 1815 5)Elspet Innes 5 May 1818 6)Janet Innes 2 July 1821 not shown 7)James Innes 16 May 1823 not shown There, apparently, was a William Innes but was unable to find him. The dates of birth, above, were from the IGI. William

Km73 is a reference to a gravestone. The data from the majority of Moray gravestones was collated during the 1980s and birth dates were calculated on the basis of an individual's age at death, as recorded on the stone. Gravestone inscriptions do not necessarily indicate that all the named individuals were buried in the same plot. Some family members might well be buried elsewhere, especially if they moved away from the area, but whether they are named on a family stone will all depend on who was still living in the area and who paid for the inscription. If you discover an error in a LIBINDX record, it's possible to request a correction, if you use the 'email enquiries' link. I did exactly that last week, sending a copy of the inscription in question, and the record has already been corrected.
