Hi Sharon
With regards to the use of graves as a source, from a personal point of view
I have found them to be of huge help, especially where there is no D.N and
you have no idea in which Province the person resided. When I first started,
many a time I would go through the various Cemetery books at the LDS and
found quite a few members of my family this way, of who their spouses were
and sometimes even the children. When you have no living members of a
family it can be a great source.

Regards
Margaret
