Association of Professional Genealogists former member, DNA Match Analyst, including for adopted people and other genealogists, genealogy research full-time since 2009. Juris Doctorate, member of the Illinois State Bar (Inactive Status). Former litigator at the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., on unfair imports based on intellectual property.
Please do not take the photos I have uploaded and upload them anywhere, at least not without telling me what you want to use it for and getting my agreement to that. Not only is it against findagrave.com policy guidelines, it's against copyright law. As a practical matter, because I am researching more than just cemeteries and interested in connecting with other descendants of mutual ancestors to share all kinds of genealogy information, I want to be the one to upload my photos so that my profile link is below those photos, making it easier for others to contact me. If you want one of my photos added to a memorial on findagrave or ancestry.com, please just ask me, and I will be very happy to do so.
Conversely, despite Findagrave.com's policy Guidelines (which are not laws nor findagrave's conditions for participation), I will gladly transfer any memorial I manage or created to a person more closely related to the person memorialized than I am, even if the requestor does not fall within findagrave's policy guidelines relationship restrictions. I am extremely grateful to the many strangers who have created memorials and uploaded photos, but I think it is more important that a memorial be managed by the closest relative, rather than only if you are descended directly from that person by 3 generations or fewer, especially as contrasted with a stranger.
On ancestry.com, I have made a very wide public tree, "Kline-Barrow & Hackard-Crisp, etc." because I enjoy these kinds of puzzles and have found that I have obtained more information about direct ancestors from distant relatives than close relatives have ever known. And, yes, I do recognize the conflict between that realization and my opinion that memorials be managed by the closest relative.
I haven't been able to go to any new cemeteries since the autumn of 2012 but to the cemeteries I do go to in the future, I will try to check findagrave.com for others' requests. Although our home base is in Colorado, we have traveled off and on to other states for our work and I hope to be doing so again soon.
