Three persons from one family are buried in Saint Marys Cemetery, Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, USA. In the Source Records for each, extracted from Find a Grave Index, the Event Place for each is different, and incorrect, but the Event Place (Original) is the same for each, and is correct. This is likely since there are over two dozen Saint Marys Cemeteries, and the one in Massachusetts is not present in the drop down listing for the Event Place for any of the three. I have corrected the Place of Burial field for each without any problem. My concern is that someone searching for a burial in this cemetery might not find their person. I have not looked further about this cemetery. I report it since the source records for the Event Place were all very different.

    The issue with Find a Grave metadata is well documented and in the hands of the engineers.
