About our Date Format:
Dates are formatted as such: YYYY-MM-DD. 1893-09-14 is also September 14, 1893.

If there are zeros, then that means that the information is not available. For example, if you see 1893-00-00, then only the year was given on the headstone. Likewise, if you see 1893-09-00, then the year and month were given but not the date. We have also used zeros if the date was illegible.
