Most of the memorials I manage are direct relatives or family friends, but I've created (or assumed management of) a handful of others to fill gaps in family trees. If you'd like to manage any of those, just let me know. I think memorials should be managed by family whenever possible. I will transfer outside of Find a Grave guidelines to family and close friends.

Full middle names and maiden names help avoid confusion between people with similar names, so I include or suggest those when known. And to help knit family trees together, I often suggest links to parents and spouses.

Many thanks to members who evaluate and accept edits in a timely fashion, rather than making the suggester wait 21 days for edits to be auto-accepted, which takes much enjoyment out of the site. It's a shame there isn't a toggle to "Accept all suggested edits immediately" for memorial owners who are not active on this site, or who are too busy to evaluate suggested edits, or who manage more memorials than they can maintain. I mean, if edits are going to be accepted 3 weeks from now without manager review, why not let them be accepted immediately?

Please do not credit me in the Bio section for edits I've suggested. I just don't see the point of doing this.

Special thanks to volunteers who fulfill grave photo requests. Photos make such a difference to a memorial, and your time, trouble, and thoughtfulness are greatly appreciated.
