Lived in OKC most of my life, happily married with six kids. Teach special education in the public schools. Genealogical interests are Laird-Valega-Kane-Blackman-Hawkins at the moment. I appreciate all that the volunteer photographers on this site do, taken a few pictures myself. This includes creating the memorial pages. However, I don't understand why some contributors will not release a memorial for management purposes to a family member of any relation. Often times a relative asking for the transfer of rights to a memorial page certainly has more rights than just someone out photographing anything and everything, with no connection to the majority of the people they created the memorial. Doesn't make sense to me. Do not believe that management rights should be limited when it comes to a relative wanting to take over the memorial page.
