Duplicate memorials are not intentional. If you find that I created a duplicate memorial, please let me know and I will gladly fix.

The purpose of this site is: (1) Find the grave and (2) Record the location of the grave by creating a Memorial Page for the person.

Since this is NOT a genealogy site, then including photos of Census records, DRAFT Registration Cards, etc., is not necessary and this type of information belongs on other sites such as Ancestry and Family Search where you can share it with a much wider audience who can appreciate all of your research!

Burial Unknown: Find a Grave's purpose is to catalog and make available final disposition information. If burial information is unknown for an individual, Find a Grave is probably not the right place for their information. In rare cases, creating a Find a Grave memorial for someone with no burial information may be warranted, but these should be uncommon.

Find a Grave has implemented a new way to submit edits as follows:

To suggest a correction (SAC), click on the edit tab of the memorial that needs to be corrected. Then click on the link which best describes where your edit should occur. Enter the correction and when done, click submit edit. Your request will be sent to the memorial manager and it will appear in the managers' profile under the Edits tab.

The exception:
Requesting a transfer, adding family links, or other corrections are still handled the same way. Click on "suggest any other correction or addition," type your message and press "send this message." The manager of the memorial will receive an email.

Pictures - Please, do not add family photos, census records, etc to the memorials that I manage. I am aware that they are allowed, but I do not care for them and Findagrave does remove them when requested. Documents such as these belong on family history sites such as Ancestry and Family Search pages. These documents do not add anything to the memorial that can't be put in the bio.

If anyone is "retiring" from Find-A-Grave, I would be happy to be the caretaker of any memorials that you want to transfer. I promise to watch over them in your absence.
