Search is not accurate. Example: There is a memorial in a certain cemetery in a certain county. Search for that name by county, no matching records.
This makes it hard for somebody that does not have the memorial information and trying to find somebody in a specific county, knowing they are buried in that county. Numerous cemeteries in the county just creates frustration. Do you spend all day searching each cemetery? This also causes duplicate memorials.
Another similar problem: Known cemetery, try to go direct to that cemetery, no matching records. Go to county, cemetery is found alphabetically.
Another problem: Contributors do not respond to public msgs or private email. How can a member find out if the contributor is still active or not and if not, access memorials for editing, linking, updating, etc.
In summary, I would recommend Find A Grave to a friend.
