I'm a genealogist and spend most of my time researching my own family, although I do enjoy helping other people when I am able to. My focus is on original source documentation for all names, dates, and locations on my family tree. FindAGrave is an excellent resource for researchers looking for their ancestors but by no means can it substitute for original source documentation. One important lesson to remember is that just because something is etched in stone doesn't mean it's necessarily correct. Remember, the best sources are those details being reported by the individual about themselves at the time closest to the event. If you come across a memorial on this website with details in contradiction or beyond what is documented on the stone itself I urge you to contact the author and ask for supporting documentation before considering it fact. If you have additions, corrections, or comments about any of my memorials please don't hesitate to contact me.
