Find a Grave Source
I have been noticing for the last couple of months that source to a attach a FindaGrave is giving the wrong cemetery. And it is becoming more common. It appears the AI finds the name of the cemetery and doesn't go beyond that point. I find the same cemetery name in a different state.
The reason I have found this is because I will add the name of the cemetery from FindaGrave as found on Ancestry before I add the source.
In this case AI is dumb

This problem was not caused by AI.
This is a well known indexing problem with the Find a Grave locations that was first reported on or about 8 June. The incorrect standardization apparently arose during the migration of records to a new storage platform. The FamilySearch software engineers are working on a solution.
