HI! Right now I am a full-time student pursuing a bachalors degree. So, if I don't answer you, don't consider it an insult. I have very little time for FaG right now. 8/29/2019

I have been gathering family information for a long time now. (since, I was big enough to listen to the stories the older members of my family would tell and since way back when you had to go to the library or the courthouse to find it.)

For the most part I've found some wonderful members/contributors here on Find-a-grave. They have been and are very nice, generous, helpful, kind people working here to preserve our family histories. They make FaG an enjoyable research tool for us amture genelogist.

What I don't like about Find-A-Grave is that rare handful of non-related people who will not give Memorial Pages to Family Members when they request them. And the Hypocrites who chastise me when I make a mistake yet they willfully ignore the rules and are disrespectful (as if the rules apply to me, but NOT to them?!)

I am not a staunch believer in the 4 generation rule. I realize that there are many people who are considered to be their "FAMILY's HISTORIAN" and that they are trying to preserve as much of their family history as they possibly can. (I consider myself to be one of the "Family Historians", too.)

I believe a memorial Page is better put into the hands of a caring family member or a close friend who loves and Respects them rather than in the hands of a "TOTAL STRANGER" who is boastful & filled with pride about all the memorials they have gobbled-up. You know the type: They hoard their memorials rather than sharing them with the deceased's family members and/or friends.

God Bless our Troops!

ALSO: If you do not know the area or the people then you will probably make mistakes and/or leave out information that could be added by family & friends who have known these people for years. (if you would NOT BE "GREEDY" and give them a chance to post their loved ones obits & not grab up every memorial as soon as it is posted; then refuse to share those memorials with their extended family or friends.)

Also, I do not appreciate postings of funeral home obits and rude remarks left in the flower section of a memorial that I have created; like "JAC" and "James Beltz" have done in the past. I consider it to be disrespectful and rude; to the person who has passed on and to me as the contributor who created the memorial. If you are a member you should be well aware of the proper way to send information to another contributor without being ugly/rude/disrespectful.

And we are not in computation with the funeral homes themselves. I do not like posting bios, obituaries, & photos before the funeral service has actually been conducted. To me it is just wrong; disrespectful to the person who has passed, their family, and the funeral home.

Now, that is my opinion on the matter.
