Please Do NOT add military rank unless the person was deceased in military. Rank in Civil and other wars etc is not necessary if they lived many years after the wars..

PLEASE remember these are my photos, and the copyright is mine, do not complain or be RUDE that I use watermarks, since they are mine; I have that right to do so..

Do not remove my photos and add them to another memorial. Please ask me to add.

NO Bulk Transfers will be given.. Please read below what is needed!

YOU need to give me your direct line including yourself.. TOO many so called grandparents with no lines to prove it..

TRANSFERS: If you are seeking transfers to have all your family together, use the virtual cemetery option.

New Rules.

https://support.findagrave.com/s/article/Request-to-Manage

• Memorials are transferred for relatives with these close relationships: child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, grandchild, great-grandchild, grandparent, great-grandparent, niece/nephew, great-niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, great-aunt/uncle, or first cousin. This would include adoptive, step and in-law versions of these relationships.

• Always explain your relationship in the request! Keep in mind that the memorial manager may also be related to the memorial and may not make the transfer. You may also want to include your specific interest in the memorial.

I do not do edits via email.. USE the correct Edit source!

And if sending edits please be respectful on the Amount sent each day..

Please Explain how related in 4 generations if asking for transfer. A complete lineage must be given, for me to decide if you quality for a transfer. Many are related in the upper generation. NOT just he/she is my great great etc. COMPLETE lineage is now needed.

If you TAKE my photos (personal as well as grave photos) with out MY permission, I kindly ask that you source the location of removal.. ( I have seen many whom have taken my personal photos of my family with out permission)... Being a true genealogist you should source where you TOOK my photos. Courtesy goes a long way..

Many markers now a days have no death dates, either because of cost or no remaining family... So don't be rude if some memorials are added when the person is actually still living.

PHOTOS!

PLEASE be respectful on the usage of volunteer's photos.. After all they are the volunteers photos and one would believe total respect and sourcing be proper credit given to each and every Volunteer when photos are used on other sites as well as Ancestry Tree. Also please do not remove Volunteer photos and add them because of photo sideways or you crop them to remove dates and names etc... this is very disrespectful to the Volunteer whom has taken the time/gas and energy to help Genealogist find relatives etc.

My name is added to photos and I am not disrespecting the Deceased. Watermarks are a safe guard not Disrespect. They are MY Photos.

If a edit is in error, please be respectful, Mistakes can happen, no need to be RUDE.

Can't make everyone happy these days.. Some comments are just ridiculous. (Leaves nearby, picture is on a angle not straight on; or yellow date or water marks on photos). I've made thousands and thousands of people happy locating burials with my work over all these years and I just ignore anyone with negative ridiculous remarks. Please keep them to your self. NO volunteer should bad mouth another volunteer for their work. My little Kodak (which doesn't always take the best photos) and I have made thousands of fellow genealogist happy with just a photo of a gravestone and with what is on it the gravestone..

Please do NOT merge cenotaph as a duplicate. they can be marked Cenotaph.

I want to THANK everyone that has sent me private notes on my work throughout the years. I have received some from all over the world.. (To name a few: England, Philippines, Scotland, Australia. Canada, Germany, New Zealand). And none of them have negative remarks about my work.
