I really love FAG and try my best to give as much information so that others, who don't have as much experience in genealogy, and who don't know where to start looking, can find their people. My biggest pet peeve is those who just go through and grab as many memorials as they can just to build their numbers, but don't do anything to add to or fix them. I don't see how that is helping FAG AT ALL. Anyone else can find those same ones and actually add to them, they don't go away. I don't think FAG should allow anyone to take possession of an abandoned memorial if they aren't adding to them, unless they are related..

I had a great aunt who did the genealogy on my mother's side of the family so I have always known that I descend from John of Gaunt, the third surviving son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. Exciting as that is, I didn't know anything about my father's family except that his grandmother had placed 3 of her 4 children (boys) in the Orilla Asylum in Canada after her husband died, got remarried to my great grandfather, and moved on with life. So, I researched my family in Canada and it just expanded from there.

If you have family that I have put on find a grave and you want them so you can manage their memorial just let me know. I don't have a whole bunch of "rules" I go by like some do. If they are your family and not mine? you can have them. I get pretty aggravated by people who make you prove this and that and all that nonsense. I think if you put stuff on here, it is for the benefit of the families not for you to chalk up another find to build your numbers. Any information, including death records, are welcome. The more information, the better
