Have you ever clicked on the "Show Map" link of a memorial page? It's also called "Add To Map" if no geographic coordinates are uploaded yet; it's located just next to the Plot information on the memorial. Seeing the location of the grave in the cemetery helps relatives (especially elderly or handicapped ) ;-) decide where to park, which walking route is best, which other burials of the same name might potentially be relatives, etc. Please do not decline edits which supply geocoordinates!
Also, please do not use abbreviations in PLOT info section....ordering a memorial search by PLOT instead of RELEVANCE often helps identify very quickly potential relatives, BUT ONLY if the info is entered in that cemetery's standardized format with no abbreviations. You can see this yourself by reviewing a few other memorials in the same cemetery you're working in which have plot info entered, and so you will get hints as to what is the accepted format that most other contributors use in that cemetery...which, in turn, makes ordering a search by plot more helpful.

Extensive interest in the successor countries to the Austro-Hungarian Empire which existed until November, 1918.

Most of the memorials we manage have some connection back to Imperial Austria (or are family, or are both) Someone who was born before 1919 might have "Austria" or "Hungary" as their place of birth written on their American death certificate, but in most cases, citing "Austria" or "Hungary" as their country of birth would be INCORRECT for F-a-G purposes which uses modern day geography.

Someone born, for example, in 1917 in "Austria" or "Hungary," could actually today list their place of birth anywhere between modern day Poland to the north, modern Russia or Ukraine to the east, modern Italy to the west, and modern Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to the south and every place in-between. Before you send an edit listing "Austria" or "Hungary" as someone's pre-1920s birth country, please confirm his or her correct BIRTH VILLAGE to properly identify the correct modern country in the Central Europe of today.

Similarly, some form of the word "Yugoslavia" only existed from 1929 - 1991, and its borders only go back to December 1918 with the fall of Imperial Austria. Someone born or died outside these dates COULD NOT have been born/died in Yugoslavia, even if the document you are viewing lists it. It does so because the document was written during the years that Yugoslavia existed.

Another example, a marriage certificate might list a 1908 place of birth as "Yugoslavia," but that person was actually born in Austria-Hungary and never heard of Yugoslavia until decades later. Further genealogical research could, for example, identify a birth village in an Imperial province such as "Krain" or "Styria." Krain is today entirely within Slovenia, while Styria today straddles both Austria and Slovenia. Further research is need to identify the church parish of birth or the village of birth so as to determine which the country the village lies in today, and enter it correctly into F-a-G.

So we ask that you please not automatically submit "Austria" or "Hungary" as a place of birth unless the correct birth village is confirmed using proper genealogical techniques. Over time we are reviewing all these memorials to determine their accuracy and hopefully identify that connection back to that Imperial Austria-Hungary.

update December 2023: HOW TO CONTACT:

Our strong preference for being contacted by you is through the "Suggested Edits" function on the memorial itself, using the "Notes" field. We recognize that F-a-G imposes character limits in this field, so pithiness is next to godliness. We always welcome links to Ancestry.com documents, well-sourced family trees, and other Ancestry-affiliated F-a-G sister sites as we have a global subscription to all of them. We also subscribe to other genealogy services.

Transfer requests, especially, are best sent in this manner.

Secondary preference for contacting us is through F-a-G's Direct Message function by clicking on "Send Message" on our profile page above as you are reading this message; please INCLUDE BOTH the memorial number AND published name IN THE SUBJECT LINE about which you wish to communicate, and also include your contributor number. We check these message notifications regularly when we review and process our "suggested edits".

Unfortunately, due to the massive number of automatic communications that we receive from many professional and personal sources, all EMAILS sent with the F-a-G "Contact Manager" function on any memorial being edited by you go directly to our trash/junk mail folder and will never be seen or read. Please do not send transfer requests using this method. This guidance also applies to F-a-G employees and support staff trying to contact us.
