I only became a Find-a-Grave contributor in 2021. However, I have over 30 years experience critiquing policies, report writing, information gathering, etc. at a large academic institution.

I've visited cemeteries in Canada, Germany, Scotland, and the U.S.A. as well as several Commonwealth War Cemeteries in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Please do not transfer memorials to me for management without my permission.

FOR MEMORIALS THAT I MANAGE:

For the rank of 'Private' for Canadian WW1 and WW2 veterans, please use the abbreviation 'Pte' (not 'PVT') per the following government of Canada website:
https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/books/units-orders-ranks-decorative-pages/ww2_units_ranks

If you request edits/comments, it would be helpful if you describe the source of the information.

Please do not post photos of obituaries without source information.

Please do not post photos of tombstones/gravestones that have been copied from other websites. Doing so violates policies. For example:
-- see 'The Terms of Use' for the 'BILLIONGRAVES' website: https://billiongraves.com/terms-of-use
-- see violations of 'Photo Permissions' for the 'CANADAGENWEB' website: https://cemetery.canadagenweb.org/faq/#permissions

Please do not use chalk etc. to better highlight tombstone inscriptions for photos. See Find-a-Grave policies about photos: https://support.findagrave.com/s/article/Questions-about-Photos
