If I have created a memorial page for anyone related to you, that falls within the Find a Grave guidelines, and you would like to manage their memorial, let me know. Please tell me how they are related to you. If they are not related to me, I will transfer them.

I really appreciate all the people on here that have help to get any of the memorials I manage corrected, or up to date. Thank You, to all that have helped with this. "Thank You", to all of the people that have posted pictures on the memorials I manage.

I put death certificates on memorials because it is a good source for proof of dates, where the person was born, and died, it gives maiden names, and family connection. Sometimes a death certificate is the only thing that is left to document that a person ever existed. For a lot of babies, and young children, that is the only record of them ever being on this earth. I do not post death certificates to disrespect anyone's memorial, or family privacy.

I believe that if burial information on a person is not available, but, there is enough to prove that person existed, then they should have a memorial. Find A Grave is one of the only places you can add people where you may not know where they were buried, and that may be the only way they can get connected to their families. I realize it is not the best way to record someone, but sometimes there is no information anywhere they were buried. So to leave someone out of a family, because no one knows, or there is no record of where they were buried seem very sad to me.

People can be lost, when places change, or land changes hands, and Cemeteries disappear, or Church records get lost. A lot of people were also buried on family farms, which are now long gone, and there are, or were never any records of them. These are the reasons many of the documents where someone was buried, can be easily lost, or destroyed forever.

When information is gone, people are forgotten unless someone makes sure there is a record of their existence.
