Lover of history but please, Find a Grave is not the place to build a family tree, it is to document final resting arrangements. Please use the latter to help with the former, rather than creating memorial information for which there is no good evidence.

I have quite a few gravestone entries that I am working to improve and correct. I am pleased to have suggested edits but PLEASE help me ensure accuracy by having a reliable source for your edit and be prepared to show it. In the absence of a tombstone, a reliable source is a must, not someone else's ancestry tree, or GEDCOM.
