Have you looked lately?

We have all heard of Find A Grave, and most of us have used it. Many of us have taken photos and entered them into that site. And because of our efforts, there are now 90 million grave records online, all searchable for FREE. I noticed this yesterday, and since I use that site every few days, it must have just turned 90. **

From the Find A Grave site:

Find the graves of ancestors, create virtual memorials, add 'virtual flowers' and a note to a loved one's grave, etc.

The majority of my searches are positive finds, but the one below has me a bit confused with the three entries for the same person, in two different towns and different cemeteries. Since they aren't far from me, I hope to make a winter visit to find the correct one. My post for tomorrow is on this Edmund Goodenow's family. He was my 9th great-granduncle.

Goodenow, Capt Edmund 29452588 b. 1610 d. Apr. 5, 1688	North Cemetery Wayland Middlesex County Massachusetts, USA
Goodenow, Capt Edmund 87227301 b. 1611 d. Apr. 5, 1688	North Cemetery Wayland Middlesex County Massachusetts, USA
Goodenow, Capt Edmund 88975925 b. Apr. 11, 1611 d. Apr. 5, 1688	New Town Cemetery Sudbury Middlesex County Massachusetts, USA

Follow-up. Midge Frazel told me they were buried at the North Cemetery in Wayland.
