I know, I can be somewhat of a dictator with the FAG memorials I manage - I always require the correction suggestions be backed up with proof - don't want to spread false info!

I've had that happen to my ancestors before. It's frustrating, as I'm sure you know, because once it's online there are people who take it as the gospel truth and spread it like wildfire. That makes it much more difficult to determine the truth.
