Bio
Genealogy is a hobby of mine. When I have the opportunity I do try to get to cemeteries where my ancestors are buried.
I personally don't add familial relationships from other sources on the pages I manage.
Here's the reason why. I think it's a great idea to have parents, siblings, offspring, etc. listed but unless proof is given on the record (in this case a tombstone) such as, "wife of Josiah Brown," and he's buried next to her, I treat family trees listed on Find A Grave as suggestions only.
I always look for the primary document (census, marriage records, wills, etc.) to prove such relationships.
