Hello.

While researching my family tree, I came across findagrave. Although, I like to stick to my family tree, I do occasionally visit cemeteries to take pictures. I also occasionally...very rarely add memorials from the local newspaper. When I do, I often check to see if a memorial has already been added. I have found there seems to be "death chasers" on this site. Seems like memorials are posted the second someone's heart stops. As such, I am no longer checking to see if what I add is already on here. With the memorials I do add, from a newspaper, I add the entire obituary and search all deceased people, mentioned in the obituary, and add them to the memorial. I believe if you want to do this, provide all information available...I will not add a memorial to just rack up the numbers of contributions. This is not a game, rather it is to make sure someone is not forgotten.
