I have enjoyed being a Find A Grave contributor for over a year - because I don't take the site too seriously or allow myself to become overly involved in it. When I find myself reacting emotionally to anything/anyone there, I back off for awhile. (So far the only members who have really upset me are people who should have been the most supportive, cooperative, & helpful - some genuinely mean-spirited relatives on my father's side of the family.) I cannot see Find A Grave as a true genealogy site because it contains a great deal of erroneous information, much of which is never corrected by obstinate, self-centered, or absent managers of memorials. Many contributors seem to be wonderful people, but too many others want Find A Grave to be nothing more than a place to register grave sites, or they are just too busy or lazy to edit memorials, refusing or neglecting to add more info or to correct their errors.
In summary, I would recommend Find A Grave to a friend.
