What a Rip off

This website lets you sponsor memorials and pay them money for it, then they delete things that you put on your loved ones sites and they actually pick on you in a round about way. Very poor administrators running this site. If you try to e-mail a admin they will not try to resolve no problem with you and when they do anwser you it is always with a smart aleck remark. They show no respect towards their members or contributors. Also have a forum where they allow a small group of favorites to harass you and your sites and if you object to any of the forum members opinions they will delete the thread and ban you from the forums. This is actually just a if I like you website you are ok if not, then leave. It is run very unprofessionally and you should read some of the admins remarks to their contributors, they are so smart aleck. Seems they would rather fuss than run a legit website. And why would the founder not contact you back when you have a problem instead of ignoring you. He will sure take your money for sponsorships and for ads, but for a complaint he dont want to be bothered at all. They do not post any rules at all, but they make them as they go and let the forum people tell the other members what to do. Pitiful excuse for a "memorail" site to honor and respect your loved ones.

There is another site out on the web now called Find A Grave Marker. They only upload digital images. They do charge a membership fee but the owner told me that you can have as many copies of the markers as you want. The administrators upload the images themselves and also there are no forums or memorials just the markers themselves for reference. I joined up and while it is still a new site, markers are uploaded each week. Since I joined 3 weeks ago they have added over 10 full cemeteries. I think they are looking for field photographers and offer a free subscription plus advertising. Check it out and see for yourself

This is true. Recently a person unrelated to my direct line, "hijacked" my direct ancestor line. Most of the information she has listed is incorrect. She will not sign over the memorials, the admins told me to make double entries, which is against their own rules, and then when she joined her err filled memorials to mine; they wouldn't stop her. They booted me off the website for daring to complain about a ghoul.

On a another note; in one of their forums people where getting strangers death certificates and tracking down as many living relatives as possible.

Find A Grave is not a genealogy site, nor a memorial site, it is only for the truly twisted and gross.
