    1. Re: [ALHN-GENERAL] cemetery info on ALHN
    2. Rebekah, the individual FAG pages are supposed to show the data that was found on the tombstone. 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. REBEKAH
