Cemeteries are a great source of information if the headstones have extra information. I have found that what is written on the headstones is not necessarily correct. It is important to recognise this, but the accurate information that can come from it is living people at the time of burial (albeit names may be nick names, abbreviated, or spelt incorrectly). Also the amount of information, type of headstone, or even the level of upkeep can indicate how well off the family is.
