UPDATE: As of 2021 all existing gravestones have been located, gps'd, photographed, and uploaded. Creation of maps and layout of lots continues. Still researching old town records, and adding to FAG as I find them. We hope to have a complete inventory on our website in the near future! Thanks.
INTRO: I am past Sherborn Cemetery Commissioner trying to enter all the info and photos I can. Going through all the old records. I WILL get it done!
I double and triple check all the info before I enter it, and will explain my reasoning for any discrepancies. But I might still get it wrong! Always willing to listen and help where I can, but I can't change the records! I use town cemetery, death, birth and marriage records. I also check online records. I don't use family trees found online, as I've seen too many errors (including my own fathers).
I do not include the cause of death unless it was really very unusual. That information is more suited for other sites, or one's own family tree. This site is about the gravesite.
Thanks.
NOTE: I will NOT link to an "unknown burial". Per the rules of Findagrave, "Location of body unknown is used for recent deaths where the disposition is not currently known. Final disposition must be determined and updated within 30 days". You can always request that some narrative be added to a bio section.
