I was born in Bedford -Stuyvesant Brooklyn in 1952.
I am presently a Missionary and Pastor in the Payatas area of the Philippines.

I would also like to make a statement. those of us who make these memorials for genealogy purposes feel a close connection with all our ancestors. When you refuse to transfer someone you do not have a connection, please know that you are depriving a family member of being the caretaker of that memorial. I would love to hear why some people do that.

I would think that everyone would want to transfer memorials to relatives. After all, they still get the credit for creating it and the relative can get contacts with family members seeking information. I have asked sometimes, those who have created memorials if they know anything about them and they did not. How much greater had a relative seeking to claim it would have received it and could share information.
