David Roderick McLean said: I realize that findagrave is a third-party site not affiliated with FamilySearch. That said, I ran encountered this problem today on PID GSH2-L66.

The man's name is "William Westley Stamper", but the hint indicated "William Walter Stamper";

but when I went to Findagrave the name was actually listed correctly as "William Westley Stamper".

The source loaded as "William Walter Stamper" which does not agree with Findagrave.

Are the databases not syncing frequently enough? I don't know what caused this glich; but wanted to bring it to the attention of the engineers.

    I do not believe that it is something you will see updated every few days.

    You are not alone ...

    Hence, why I recently ( 5 Day ago ) resurrected this post over over 4 Years ago.

    'Thank You' for that.

    But ...
    That said ...

    I would not call the matter, in this post; and/or, the post that I included above, as "MISSING" Records from the "Find.A.Grave"!

    This is a matter of HOW the ORIGINAL "Find.A.Grave" Record GOT so BADLY indexed in the (so-called) transition of the "Indexed" Record in "FamilySearch"!?
