My passion for (and my frustration with) genealogy research compels me to share information with others whenever possible, with hope that one day, I too, may be able to break through those proverbial brick walls.

I grant you free NON-COMMERCIAL use of any gravestone or personal images I post.

I am not as strict as the findagrave guidelines regarding transfers. I am pleased to "send people" to the care of others who have some kind of personal connection, whereas I do not.

Be sure to include your findagrave member number in order for transfer to take place.

If you email me directly, PLEASE include "FINDAGRAVE" in subject line, so I don't delete, thinking it is spam email.

I am very disappointed with the "new" findagrave - the memorials look like a cheap advertising flier that businesses put on our car windshields. It simply doesn't "look" or "feel" like a memorial anymore.

However, there IS one change that is very nice - being able to submit edits in ALL categories at once, instead of having to click edit button for each individual category. A nice time-saver.

In addition, I really dislike having to click on pictures to prove I am not a bot!! That was the final straw for me, so now I will greatly reduce my findagrave activity. It's sad when new ownership makes changes which negatively impact those who work very hard to contribute to the site.
