Subject: Re: [ALDALLAS-L] Cemetery Name Confusion

In my experiences with the information in Ancestry.com, there is no complete
listing of anything. For example, in the subjects of deaths, births,
marriages, etc., the website contains incomplete information for each subject
category for Dallas County. I have found information on my relatives in the
Church of Latter Day Saints website (lds.org) for Dallas County, Alabama,
however, the Ancestry.com website does not contain that information.
Ancestry.com appears to be using information collected at the state level,
not at the county level. Lds.org appears to be using information collected
at the county level. However, lds.org does not have complete records for
Dallas County either. Ancestry.com has information that lds.org does not
have.
I have not found a website with complete cemetery information for Dallas
County, especially for the more rural small country church cemeteries. The
transcription and posting efforts for information on the small rural
cemeteries appear to be the private efforts of genealogists researching their
own individual family histories.
