Find A Grave
Reviews and Complaints

So true; relatives cannot correct but others can, and FAG saves their errors.

How would anyone here know how to get a hold of Findagrave member OakieBran? Maybe you should be thankful to OakieBran for taking the time to make a memorial to your deceased relative instead of puking your guts up until you bleed because the memorial doesn't have the information you think is vital.

If you've joined the site, you can submit the info to the memorial yourself by clicking the "Suggest Edits" button. Every contributor who manages at least one memorial can be contacted via this method: Click the "Suggest Edits" button; scroll down the page to the "Suggest other corrections" button.

Click it. Type your message in the text box.

Don't revise history. Nine years ago, people were also creating thousands and thousands of memorials.

The reasons they are doing so are as myriad as there are members. Some do it for genealogy. Some do it because they are taphophiles. Some do it to preserve history.

Some do it just because they like the format. None of those reasons are wrong. Nine years ago people were adding info from Ancestry without further verification. That hasn't changed at all.

There were also people who added unverified "family lore". They still do. Nine years ago, there were people who objected to "strangers" creating their family member's memorials. However, nine years ago, there were no transfers.

A headstone and years of birth and death ARE adequate. Nine years ago, Find A Grave didn't say "stick to your own family." They still don't because "family" isn't the purpose of Find A Grave.

I am so tired of self-proclaimed "geneaologists" showing up on FAG and getting on their high horse about contributors on FAG. Some of the contributors to FAG could run circles around these whiny "genealogists" when it comes to research.Don't like FAG? Don't use FAG.

You're just a jealous person! What you say is all complete nonsense!

If you can do the long tedious hours of research than get with it MAN!

And how would you know if these people there are all self proclaimed genealogists? Have you asked them personally?

I agree, if coping people's PERSONAL newspaper obituarys, and confiscating photos from the newspaper be considered doing better work than what a genealogist does. I stick my finger down my throat and choke.

Clueless. You base your comments on what some do so it fits your childish agenda of putting down FAG members. After you are done choking, get a nose adjustment so that you are not always looking down it.FAG does not need you and your ilk on its site.

The old "tell someone they are jealous" response - when you have nothing of substance to add.I have yet to meet a person who complained about the research of others who did not view themselves as some sort of genealogy guru.Eever look at the trees on Ancestry? Ninety percent of them are the source of a headache, not any really factual info. Misinformation is regurgitated from tree to tree.It's not research, it is cut and paste crap.

Yep, you are definitely a jealous person! All you have done from one end of this PCon., is nag, and gripe at everyone! Maybe you should take a long break or perhaps leave F--g.

The *** who post on here and complain about Findagrave are pathetic. They cannot follow rules or read instructions.

LOL LOl LOL :) U R SAD!

At least they take personal information off their memorials for those who are listed on a monument that are alive, unlike "Billions of Graves" who invade everyones privacy including the living ! They have some lowlife slobs there who accumulate names even for the living!

They do not understand privacy. Criminal behavior!

I agree.Actually f-grave is more of a genealogy website now which makes it much better. I appreciate the ones there who give family memorials to family.

And people who add memorials are still welcomed. People just need to learn to share and put family first over vultures who hoard graves for numbers. Just because you took a cemetery picture doesn't mean you should have all rights to another persons family.

No need to be greedy. Our world is too full of narcism!

I agree completely... it is not fair (or ethical) to leave the family out of the loop when making decisions about the content of these memorials.

I do like the ability to establish a memorial for our loved ones.

But many of the contributors on Find A Grave are not receptive to input from the family. Find A Grave's policies stand firmly by this disregard of the family of the deceased.

You hit the nail on the head my friend!

There are ten troublemakers there who only live to collect flowers for their personal memorials every single day. A VERY STRANGE BUNCH!! ODDBALLS!!

I don't like all the changes that are being made to find-a-g. Can't keep up with all of it!

Seems all the usual troublemakers, whiners and nut cases are complaining about all the changes that will take place soon. Actually its better for those who have a brain on this site.

Those who are grumbling in the flower department, as said, whine about everything and everyone.

They are to be ignored! On with the changes *-*-*-.....
