I started with FAG in November 2014. Long before that my husband and I always found cemeteries to be fascinating places, full of history and stories to tell in their own way with people to be honored and cherished. I am mostly interested in southern New Jersey (Cumberland and Salem Counties), western New York, western Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts. I also do stone by stone recordings of cemeteries in New Jersey's Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties.

My two pet peeves:

1) Burial unknown entries for people that are probably in a cemetery but the contributor won't do the work to find them and correct it.

2) Duplicates!!! Especially by the same person. Please periodically check your entries for duplicates. In the beginning of FAG, people couldn't edit so they added a duplicate correction. Now there is an easy way to eliminate those duplicates but they have to be in the same cemetery or an non-cemetery entry vs. a cemetery entry. First click on the Suggested Edit button then go down just below the photo area for the Report Duplicate button. For the duplicates in two different cemeteries (Ugh!), you have to put a very good reason (in the review part of duplicate process) for keeping the correct one.
