Hopeful to help connect others with family in research and to remember those we love, Never to forget them...keeping their memory alive!
Thankful to those that have offered out of the kindness of their heart to transfer a memorial to me, (when I never ask) just because it's a relative of mine. I would be glad to do the same of a memorial that I have added if that person is a close relative.
If I have requested a headstone picture, its not because I want to lay claim of a memorial it may be to just proof burial place in a certain cemetery. I'm not out to add to this site just for high numbers.

If I add a new memorial for someone I will try to add a death certificate, obituary or headstone pic. that shows the cemetery and dates, as proof of burial in said cemetery, rather than just guessing or hear say.

I believe if a picture of a headstone was added yrs ago that it should be accepted for the most part, to be documentation that said grave exists. I've seen to many headstones covered with flowers- 15 to 20 (in older cemeteries especially) I'm not removing flowers to get a better picture..... there are so many non existent headstone pictures that need to be taken rather than getting the right shot ....SORRY Just My Opinion.
Sadley In the time I've been on Find A Grave I have run across some ill mannered people, all you have to do is ask nicely...not be threatening .... I have added some information sometimes from a public obituary (many generations back & a distant relative of mine) only to be threatened to be reported if I didn't remove it. All you had to do was ask not Threaten.
I Try My Best To Not List Any Names Of The Living and always have -per rules of FAG. I'm not perfect & I can make mistakes, and do. An obituary in todays world is public knowledge per internet/funeral home sites, in yesterdays world it was a newspaper printing.
I thought in the long run we are on this site for the same reason. I guess, way-not be like all the rest of the world today!
Maybe some have been on this site to long or just had a bad day who knows??
