I think you'll find that the FHC hasn't generated any cemetery records, per
se. Whatever they might have on film or in manuscript form is about as good
as that found in any genealogy library: only as accurate as the researcher
who created them. It is the access from locations far from Salt Lake City
and the size of the collection which makes the FHC such a good bet. Still,
they don't have everything, and nothing replaces onsite research.

Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving Day!
