Other
frequently asked questions about the cemetery section.
The
cemetery my ancestors are buried in isn't listed. Can I still send
in an Add-A-Grave? Certainly, send in the Add-A-Grave, and we'll add
the page for the cemetery.
Why
can't you just copy all the listings from the cemetery inscription books -
wouldn't that be easier than having us submit our cemetery listings?
Almost all cemetery inscription books are copyrighted. We'd get in a lot
of trouble if we just copied from them for the site. Plus, having a
"researcher" listed gives you another way to connect with long
lost cousins and other folks researching the same individuals.
There
are some cemetery listings with just the researcher symbol and no
name. Who was the submitter? Those are cases where the
information was sent in through Add-A-Grave, but the researcher's name and
email address wasn't filled out on the form. If you see one of these
that's yours, let me know and we'll
get you added.
Why
aren't my ancestors listed together? All the cemetery listings pages
are set up to be in alphabetical order to make it easy to locate the
listings. Unfortunately, this separates some family members.
Currently, we are working on some additional "family plot" pages
that would reunite these ancestors.
