Please do not hold information hostage. I have a low opinion of extortionists - "transfer this memorial to me and I will add information to it." If you have information, send it. Thank you.

Please, do not guess at where people were born or died. Just because a person is buried in a certain location doesn't mean they died there, nor born there.

You have my permission to use my photos and information. This is family history, it's meant to be shared; enriching each generation.

Please include your email address. I cannot take your suggestions seriously if you're anonymous and I can't question your sources or your intent. 99.9% of the time I do not link to "burial unknown" memorials; Findagrave is for cataloging cemeteries. Do the work, find the grave, then created the memorial. Kudos to all who volunteer their time in documenting cemeteries.

If you have information to update a memorial, it works best when you use the Edit Tab. Transfers outside Findagrave guidelines, please demonstrate you have information to enhance a memorial by submitting edits. "The goal at Find A Grave should not be to manage all of your family members. If you have information to add, you should suggest it to the current manager and they should make the changes."

If my research has helped you in any way, a friendly message is always appreciated.
