Find A Grave is not a substitute for a family tree and should not be used as such. That said, I'm attracted to the site for its value as a genealogic research tool as opposed to a simple grave registration site. Full names, nick names, accurate dates, a description, a picture, a history make Find a Grave richer. Marker inscription and grave location are not nearly as interesting as the story of our lost ones lives.
