    1. [NYC-ROOTS] LEBRIGHT - conflicting burial info
    2. Lisa Thompson
    3. Has anyone else ran into this situation? According to the Familysearch transcription of the death record for my great-grandfather, William LEBRIGHT, he was buried at Mt Olivet Cemetery. (The family lived in Maspeth, Queens at the time of William's death.) While doing some research tonight, I found a BillionGraves record that indicates William and his wife, Louisa, are buried in Calvary Cemetery. Is it possible that they are buried at Mt Olivet but the headstone at Calvary is just a memorial? A few things to note: The Calvary headstone lists William, Louisa and their grandson, Walter (and no one else). this seems odd to me.William died in 1940, Louisa in 1943 and Walter in 1942, so it was probably erected after Louisa died in 1943. The Famillysearch record for his wife, my great grandmother Louisa Murray LEBRIGHT, does not specify a place of burial. Calvary is a Catholic cematary. The "original" religion of my German LEBRECHT/LEBRIGHTs isn't clear , but Louisa most definitely not Catholic. She was born in England and followed the Episcopalian religion in America. I do not have a copy of the actual death certificate for William, but it seems odd that the cemetery name would be transcribed incorrectly. Any insight appreciated.
