I have found a lot of very useful information here. In addition, I have corresponded with a number of volunteers, and have always found them to be extremely pleasant and helpful.

My recollection is that, when I first started, navigating the site was somewhat confusing. But, once I got used to it, I have been able to do what I wanted quite easily.

I have had no problems with the searches. I believe that I have always found memorials where they should be. And, I have found many that I did not know existed.

Entering data, and sharing information with others has always been easy.
Overall, my experience has been very positive. I would recommend that any genealogist regularly use this site. One can obtain assistance of others, and assist others at the same time.

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

I have been able to find a few living cousins as well as getting information on some family members cemetary locations. I think it is wonderful that many people that you don't know will come to your page and leave a memorial which can mean so much to those who are grieving for a family member or friend. Findagrave is GREAT!!

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

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.
