Before requesting a Transfer:
Determine if you really need the memorial transferred to you for management. You can add photos and suggest updates without managing a memorial. With millions of members, there will be many overlapping family trees and it would be impossible for all members to manage their entire tree.

Memorials are transferred for direct relatives within four generations. This includes your spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
(not 2x, 3x, 4x etc great grandparents.

****We, as contributors have spent endless hours exploring cemeteries, researching ancestors and adding information to the memorials we add, so please don't just request transfers because you might be related. Thank you!
