    3. Great point Sherrye. And I would like to add one more thing. If you have an image of a birth, marriage or death record, you can upload it to that memorial even if it is not yours. The owner cannot remove it since you put it up. I happen to like FAG, and for the most part have found contributors to be very cooperative. Just like anywhere, there are some who are not.

Just like with census pages, we cannot change the data as it is found, but have to add notes to the original data. The FAG contributor who "owns" the page should add your burial info to the page with a citation, but they also have to leave the tombstone info on the page as that is the source for the info on the page. I would contact the FAG webmaster and explain that you have burial info to add and see if they can get the page owner to add it. Sherrye In a message dated 11/15/2013 10:44:41 A.M.

These records are much more accurate than what is on find a grave. As a researcher, I don't use find a grave as a source, but as a map. Then I find other reputable sources to cite. I have the records for my church's cemetery, and no matter how many times I ask find a grave contributors to correct misinformation on this cemetery, they refuse. So, the actual records are more accurate than the find a grave listings.
