You’re welcome, Marshall.

I am a member of Find A Grave and have posted a few, with other pictures on my “to do” list to be posted.

A reminder to all that the pictures and information posted to Find A Grave carry an author (creator of the memorial/photographer) copyright. If you would like to copy the pictures and/or information for your family tree(s), please ask the contributor for permission to do so.

Judy M.

thank you Judy.

I am not concerned about privacy issues for any of the postings that I did to findagrave.com as notes posted came from public obituaries.

I am interested in knowing if any of our co-researchers like you also post grave info and headstone pictures.

Thanks so much for responding.

Marshall

> An individual's right to privacy disappears when they are deceased. The opinions of the relatives of the deceased fall on all sides of the question. Some people are angry to find a loved one when they come to Find A Grave, even if the memorial was added by another relative, as is usually the case, and some people are elated and send us notes of thanks for building an online memorial to their family member. If an immediate family member contacts us and wants information removed, we generally do so as a matter of respect for their wishes but we treat each request on a case by case basis. The names of living survivors will be removed from the biography section of a memorial upon request."
