There are some FAG volunteers that believe cemetery records and grave markers are the Holy Grail of information-they are not. They are only reliable for date and place of death, and sometimes that is wrong. Everything else is subject to an informant who sometimes knows little or nothing about the deceased's history - not to mention typos or bad handwriting on cemetery cards and/or death certificates.
