Drew is a professionally trained librarian and archivist and a professional genealogist since 1984. He specializes in colonial New England, Vermont, Mayflower lineages, and editing articles, journals, and books.

I saw this in member "Cheshire" (47921031) profile and I agree wholeheartedly. I have wasted so much time trying to prove/disprove people's genealogical "finds" placed on this site. Please take what she says to heart:

"PLEASE folks, remember the function of this website is ONLY for DOCUMENTED BURIAL locations of the DECEASED, not plot purchase lists, blind family trees ("burial unknown") or theories (plopping). Create your family trees to your heart's content on Ancestry, FamilySearch & the like. This is an interactive site-No plopping please! Why?

Contributor John plops a name in a random cemetery. Mary sees it & requests a photo. Volunteer photographer Harry then hoofs it for hours on end searching for a non-existing stone! Loved ones will not be able to pay their respect. Understand?? Please be kind. Please be accurate.

I do not connect to "burial unknown", copy/paste info from Ancestry or plagiarize obituaries. Edit requests from these will be declined, this is not the place. Again, please remember this is Find-a-GRAVE not find-a-name, find-an-obit or find-a-tree. Wikipedia definition says it all:
"Find A Grave is a website that allows the public to search and add to an online database of CEMETERY records."
Thank you."
