It doesn't have the link on each memorial.

Not everyone finding virtual cemeteries side-by-side with actual cemeteries understands that they are not real cemeteries. There is enough confusion and enough bad family pedigrees out there. For clarity, Find-A-Grave should make it crystal clear that a virtual cemetery is not a real cemetery where real people are buried. Every virtual cemetery should be required to make that clear at each virtual cemetery site. There is too much confusion to deal with without making it worse. That is my opinion.wyrtashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499711209108280582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119019443536726183.post-86571016916039910522014-05-22T02:57:47.271-04:002014-05-22T02:57:47.271-04:00Thanks for sharing this info.

Mine are all surname based with a "W" or "L" in front of the surname to show they are from my lineage or from my husband's lineage. I try to place everyone of that surname and those connected to that surname, such as spouses and spouses of children that may have other surnames, in the associated virtual cemetery, sometimes placing them in two if need be. There are also memorials that I don't ask for transfers but want to keep tabs on, so when I come across a more distantly related person, I drop them in a virtual cemetery. It's a great tool.Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119019443536726183.post-84034721030502788752012-02-01T09:11:58.117-05:002012-02-01T09:11:58.117-05:00Thanks for the post!
