    3. I've had things I needed corrected before too and I've gone to the "Who is behind Find A Grave" on their main page (www.findagrave.com) and randomly picked one of those people to write to :)  They are not generally very responsive, but they did make the corrections.  I just did this last week because of the policy change at Oakmont Memorial Park in Lafayette.   Hope this helps, Susan From: Marilyn Demas <theschoolbell@yahoo.com> To: norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2013 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] George C. Yount Pioneer Cemetery - Transcription? Hi Folks,This Find a Grave entry most likely is correct, but may I take this opportunity to tell or remind people that not all Find A Grave entries are accurate. I am completely frustrated because I cannot seem to get to the right source to get Find A Grave to make a correction.I went to the persons info listed. Sarah Mildred Jones was the first person of colour to become a principal of a fully integrated school in California - in 1895. Find A Grave has her listed as being buried in East Lawn Cemetery in Sacramento. Miss Jones was cremated in East Lawn but she is buried in the Masonic Lawn Cemetery. I have verified this with both cemeteries. Although it is not a matter of whose fault it is, to be fair, the fault is not entirely Find A Grave. East Lawn has a brochure that erroneously or misleadingly lists Sarah Jones as a connection to East Lawn.Hiowever, does anyone know how I can get this corrected with Find A Grave?Thank you!marilyn
