The dates are displayed in the Grave Search in a Year-Month-Day (YYYY-MM-DD) format. This makes it easy to sort by date if the date is treated like a string of characters.
When we have just Year and Month, but no Day, the Day is represented by "00". If we have Year only, the Month and Day are represented by zeroes. Unknown dates are shown as "0000-00-00". The side effect of this standard is that unknown Month and Day will be sorted before January 1 of that year.
We admit there were mistakes made in transcription and importing the records, which we are trying to correct by researching obituaries, tombstones and other records. If you see any errors, please write us at searchedits@friendsofsilverbrook.org.
