FindaGrave Notes: Find A Grave is now owned by Ancestry.com and it is now considered a genealogy source. If you find memorial errors or photos added to the wrong memorials, please help solve these problems by sending edits.

-------------------------

I have done family history research (both ancestors and descendants) on my own family of Sutherland, Davidson, Corbett, and Fox. My research also takes me into that of my in-laws families including Drummond, McNulty, Tipping, Kehoe, and others. I take grave photos as a hobby.

Regarding gravestone photos, please remember that some of the older gravestones have mineral deposits or vegetation on them, and Find-a-grave volunteers are often, maybe generally, not in a position to clean the stones before photographing them. Having noted that, cemeteries usually claim responsibility for burial records and for ground maintenance, but consider gravestones to be family property, and therefore do not maintain the stones.

Older stones with mineral deposits, wear evidence, or grass or lichen growth will sometimes result in photographs in which details of the gravestones are difficult to read. If you have some specific instructions for me regarding your family's gravestone, pass the instructions along when you request the photo. I usually try to clean up minor contamination on a gravestone before taking a photograph.

If you have corrections for a memorial that I have authored, or you wish to be assigned as maintenance for the memorial, simply go to the memorial, click on the edit tab, then select "Suggest a correction or provide additional information" and ask for a transfer or enter information for a correction.

This process makes transfers and updates much easier to implement, and provides an audit history of changes. If you want a transfer, please tell me your relationship (if any) with the person whose maintenance you would like transferred. It is always helpful if you include your FAG member number.

For the record, I consider the FindaGrave guidelines as reasonable, but not mandatory.

For further genealogical and historical support, you are welcome to visit my website, https://HighlanderJuan.com where I have stored hundreds of historical documents in downloadable PDF format that may be helpful in your own family research activities. I also have published a book on genealogy entitled 'ABCs of Family Research' that is available on Amazon.com. Seek the second edition of the book because it addresses genetic genealogy (DNA research) more completely than does the first edition.

For copyright purposes, I grant free, non-commercial use of the gravestone photos I take for Find-a-Grave subscribers. My photos are free for you to use personally - there are no copyright restrictions on any of my photos unless you are going to generate revenue from them, and if that's the case, we should talk.
