I believe that everyone deserves to be remembered. Within a few generations, memories are lost and stories are forgotten. So the grave stones are the only way we have left to honor the dead.

My goal is to make every memorial that I come across as complete as possible: birth date, birth place, death date, death place, grave picture, person picture, obituary. So if it seems like I am mass-editing memorials, that's why. Everyone deserves to be fully remembered.

I am willing to transfer memorials outside of the Find a Grave guidelines, provided (1) you ask politely and (2) the memorial is not for one of my relatives.

I am currently photographing and transcribing cemeteries in Cameron County, Texas. After I have added all of the information that I can (names, dates, locations, obits, family links, etc), I transfer the memorials to Find A Grave. I love adding memorials, but I'll let F-A-G manage my non-relatives.

Also, if I add an extra photo to a memorial you manage -- the transcribing process doesn't let you see if there is already a good photo -- then feel free to delete it. It won't hurt my feelings.
