The work of Find a Grave volunteers who create and manage memorials or upload photos is tremendous, whether done in bulk or one-by-one. If you've received an edit suggestion from me, here's my methodology:

Since 2008, I've enjoyed nerdy deep-dives into families, pulling from many different types of resources. There's no rabbit hole too long, particularly where no one has gone before or where some earlier genealogist made an error that's been perpetuated and copied unquestioningly for years or even decades. To verify connections and untangle stories I'll check multiple lateral lines, differentiate individuals with identical names, find where a childless 2nd cousin landed up, or even research the history of a forgotten spouse. I strive to find two or more primary sources before accepting a fact.

Find a Grave is an important research tool. Through edit suggestions I hope to fine-tune and build upon others' work. If you require documentation before approving an edit, please message me. Turn-around may be slow, so please be patient.
