"Maturity is the ability to discern the ignorant without discussing them." -Vikrant Parsai

"There are no wrong books, what's wrong is the fear of them."

This is Find A Grave. If you have found the final resting space someone is designated at, then the goal of this websites use has been accomplished. All other is fluff and should be notated on other more family tree oriented websites.

Attaching or including in the bio CITED obits & death certs helps with research. I've found them very helpful both in my own research as well as providing some paper assistance to others why that story your Auntie told you about being born on the Oregon trail might not be 100% accurate.
Additionally, health history matters & helps.
Knowing the burdens and triumphs your ancestor carried helps you carry the same lighter or differently.

That being said my research isn't only stories, it's documents from multiple sources to support the stories.
We ALL have stuff under the bed in a box. I just prefer to know how it got there.

Open ended corrective statements will be deleted without further inquiry.
Don't be a troll who scrolls memorials for what you deem errors or maybes or whatnots WITHOUT doing the research.
The edit buttons are specific for a reason.
You either use them with the information you have researched, or you don't.

Simple: There are many choices to adapt, incorporate, choose for yourself. The problem is when you believe those same apply to others.

Complicated: For the vainglorious, braggarts, & scroll chasers; endeavoring to repine; go find a life.
