Disables their email, refuses transfers and edits....yet.....they are an asset?? They are a hindrance! They are in it for one reason only in my eyes. The TOP 50. I think that should be done away with. I want to add correct info. I research my findings when I add something to my family. I gave document # and page # and still no changes. Can't get it transferred as I do not fall into their GUIDELINES. I feel a family member should be in control of a memorial vs a complete stranger. This contributor adds inscriptions that are NOT there!! They have a person with inscription with wifes name. He was never married! The woman was his niece. I have everything to prove this. They wrote an inscription on my daughters memorial and there is NO inscription! They will not transfer a great aunt of mine because of their guidelines- she had no children and no siblings are living. She lived with me when I was younger and she took the place of grandmother for my kids - I took care of her while living and was in charge of her estate- YET this contributor has the memorial and I do not! I think if a contributor has this many memorials and does not make corrections or attempt to help with their errors in the memorials they should have to transfer such memorials to any family member that requests or transfer to a cemetery. I am tired of fighting with Find A Grave about this contributor. Contributor III has added inscriptions that took me back to my searches at the court house to only find out that they added this info on an assumption or something. Cause it was false info. I went to the cemetery and looked at the headstone myself and there was NO inscription on the stone. Mistakes like this can cause much havoc for people researching their ancestors. I really hope the guidelines are changed as I feel family belongs with family- not strangers! And like I said I haven't had any problems with any other contributor just the "ONE bad apple"...Contributor III

In summary, I would recommend Find A Grave to a friend.
