FROM THE FAQS:
Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations, this would be your great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, or siblings. Bulk surname requests should not be made.

Duplicates are frowned upon. DO NOT make duplicate memorials.

NOTE: PLEASE do not just want them, give the family no matter HOW distant they are the first chance to have editing rights to the memorials that are of their family. Thank you.

I do love Findagrave and have every intention of always maintaining my contributions. If you need to contact me with other questions about memorials please add the topic of Findagrave in the Subject Line. Please add the memorial number on all of your requests. Thank you.
