Bio
I'm pretty easy to get along with and will be happy to transfer anything within the guidelines. But to take photos from my memorials that are copyright protected (even though they may not be watermarked as such - check the copyright laws for verification) is clearly not appropriate and, technically illegal. I'm not saying I'll send a team of lawyers after you, I'm just asking for a small degree of common courtesy. Just ask! All I want is attribution for the work I've done. I only have about 1,800 in my name, but I've uploaded over 20,000 as a partner/volunteer of another Find A Grave contributor, John O'Connor, who was entirely welcome to my work....he asked! As a matter of fact, most of the photos that I took (and therefore hold the copyright) were uploaded under John's account.
Contact me anytime with corrections, links, transfers (according to policy) or adding information. I will respond as quickly as is reasonable.
A quick note: I'm often asked a question about hyperlinks. To add an internal link within a biography, you would need to type
a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=XXXXXXX"Name /a
(I put this here because I use it frequently and am tired of digging for it in the FAQ.)
