The freepages at rootsweb.com are legacy surveys of cemeteries that provide valuable data, but by their very nature, are not complete since additional graves have most likely been placed since the completion of the survey. For historic cemeteries, however, that may no longer be receiving burials, these surveys are still important; furthermore, the effort to record the survey, and to place the data online, is, of course, very important for genealogical research.
