I have seen all sorts of problems with Find A Grave. My great grandfather's tombstone has a wrong birthdate.
FAG has a great granduncle married to a woman and fathering a child that was not at all possible. I thought SSDI shows where the benefits check was sent, not where the person is buried? My father died in California, was buried in Montana and the benefits check went to me in Washington. So the location for death can't be used for either death or burial location! I have seen bad information beget more bad information. When I see two secondary or tertiary sources "match", I don't take it as gospel until I find the *primary* source!
