Re: Errors on Tombstones

Rick--

As many as one in four markers had the wrong unit on them. Errors are often due to different men sharing the same name or initials.

Wasn't there a game show years ago where three people all claimed to be the same person? The panel asked questions and made guesses about which one was correct. Then the host asked, 'Will the real John Smith please stand up.'

Wouldn't it be great to have a Confederate ancestor version of that game?
