Bio
I have been working on my family genealogy for awhile now and came across Find A Grave while working on the genealogy. I love this site. It has been so much help to me in doing this project for my family. Most of the memorials I have added at this time are my ancestors.
I will make changes to the their info if it is correct information. If you feel you have the correct information please provide the "proof" of correction.
Just because you suggest an edit does not necessarily mean it is accurate information and according to the FAQ section on FAG I do not have to accept the suggested edit.
Do I have to make corrections or additions to the memorials I manage?
The Find a Grave community works together to update memorials and we are all collaborating towards a common goal. As the manager, you have an important responsibility to ensure accurate information for the memorial and other members who send suggested edits are driven by a desire to be helpful, update memorials and share researched information. If you have a question about a suggested edit, you can always contact the member who sent it.
Find a Grave memorials are works in progress. As a memorial manager, there is always the potential for a member to send you a correction or additional information. When processing suggested edits you should accept or decline the update according to your research or the research that is sent to you. When you have differing information and decline the update, include more information so the suggester understands why the suggestion was declined. If there is differing information in the historical record, as the manager you can consider explaining the sources and differing information in the biography field. When a suggested edit is sent, a manager has 21 days to review it. If the edit is not declined in that timeframe it is automatically sent to Find a Grave's edit queue for processing.
If you neglect to update memorials when valid corrections are sent to you, Find a Grave may determine that you are inactive. If that happens, Find a Grave will make corrections on your behalf or transfer management of the memorial. Learn more at Inactive Account and Reactivation.
And seriously I don't mind if you take the photos I have posted, I love sharing information on the family & obtaining new information. However, I do ask that if someone else would like to see what you have don't be rude. In doing this research I have come in contact with a lot of people, most have been very nice and then there is a batch of people who are just rude. So please if you take MY photos, share them and be kind. Obviously we are all in this for good reasons.
I will make a transfer if the relation is closer then mine.
Once I finish with this project I hope to be able to add more memorials and help anyone else who needs help with photos or info.
