I love getting information on the memorials that I manage and all edits and corrections will be verified for accuracy. If I declined your request I put an explanation as to the reason(s) why, not just what is in the drop-down selection FaG shows. If you question that decline and still have not sent supporting documentation (please no unsourced family trees) or have a way to respond back to you, the edit request will again be declined.

If I send a correction, additional information or suggest family links, be assured, I have done some personal research before making that request.

If you sponsor a memorial that I manage, if it is not in my family I will automatically transfer that memorial to you.

Known Burials verses Unknown Burials:
Do not move your Unknown Burial or a memorial from an incorrect cemetery into the correct cemetery and then demand that the contributor delete their correctly placed memorial. Read the guidelines. They are simplified and self-explanatory. It states a memorial with a correct known burial location will always be preferred over an unknown burial location and they will merge YOUR memorial(s) into the correctly placed memorial.

Duplicates: I am the caretaker of some of IWPP's memorials. If you find a memorial that has been duplicated by him or by me let me know and I will delete it as soon as possible, after verification.

Transfers: I have received on the same day contributors asking to have the same memorial transferred to them, one had a closer relationship then the other but the other had asked first. Emails got really ugly between the two and they included me in them so.... since we cannot please everyone I am only adhering to the four generation rule (siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren). Please state your exact relationship or the request will ignored.

If you have a large family, a wonderful way to gather all your ancestors together and achieve that goal is by setting up a virtual cemetery. It is a wonderful way to keep all of your family members in one place, while respecting the efforts of everyone who created these memorials and has worked so hard to link all family members together.

I would like to thank all contributors and photographers for all that you have done for me and for FindaGrave. You are very much appreciated!

Have Fun and Happy Hunting!
