Jane,
I suggest you contact the church directly and see what they can do to
help you. Here is the information:
St Michael Church
N 8th St AT Washington St
Cannelton, IN 47520
(812) 547-4388
I am sure they can tell you what records they have and give further
information on the plots and who the source was in giving the
information for the gravestones. That is probably where the mistakes
were from. The information is only as good as what the informant knows.
Good luck!
