A word of caution about FHC: while they possess a great wealth of
information (probably the greatest single source of genealogical data), as
with any information, the user should exercise a healthy skepticism
especially with non-published materials. I have had several people tell me
that the FHC's cemetery records are something less than 100% accurate.
Nonetheless, it is a great resource.
