Please send any TRANSFER REQUESTS requests through the "Contact Manager" button on the memorial NOT via a message on my profile page.

■ I follow the Find-A-Grave guidelines regarding the transfer of memorials.

■ If you send me a request for transfer of a memorial, please explain exactly how you are related to the person. I do not transfer based on "being related".

■ Find A Grave's primary purpose is a graves registration website.

■ Find A Grave's secondary purpose is a memorialization/remembrance site.

■ Find A Grave's tertiary purpose is a genealogical resource. If a listing or contribution corresponds with only the primary purpose, it has fulfilled its part of Find A Grave's mission and is not required to correspond with the secondary and tertiary purposes. Fulfilling the other two is welcomed, encouraged and deeply appreciated, but as far as Find A Grave's purpose goes, a memorial page isn't lacking if it does not.

My goal in Find-A-Grave is to compose the best memorials I can for the people I am honoring. I add as many people as I possibly can to Find-A-Grave and then, as time permits, I do what I can to link them with their relatives and I also add an obituary or write as much of a biography as I can based on available records and information.
