Nel, You do know if you find an entry with an error, you can click on edit and send the person the correct info. If they do not change it with in a few months, then FAG tech's will make attempts to get it done and if that fails, they will turn the submission over to the person who has the most and correct data. I have submitted over 11,000 (not many by most standards) and hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't want me to add or correct data. Typo's occur for we old folks and that is most often the primary cause of error. My trifocals give me much grief in this area. Also, if there are some entered of FAG for Thomas & Grady Counties in Georgia, I will try to get the photo's. However, there are many others that are signed up as photo volunteers for this area.

What has me annoyed are those who do not make the correction and do not respond at all. One particular example is where a maiden name has been listed for a Hatcher wife that is provably wrong. For the most part I've often seen corrections made within the same day. But I wasn't aware of techs being in the background. How do they become aware of a request for change made to one of the submitters and how are they aware thaf the change has or has not been made? Nel

There are several listed on Who is behind Find A Grave? http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=whois A.J., Robert, Katrina, etc are all quite helpful. I usually start with Katrina, she is usually prompt in her reply. Sometimes when corrections are not made it is because the contributor has died or become disabled. Giving a memorial to another person is not something they take lightly, because of the things that could have prevented the person from responding. They leave the name of the orginal submitter and then list the person who is maintaining those records. Also, some people, including me, have left flowers and added or amended the data in the note for the flowers. As Mama always said, there is more than one way to get things done, you just have to be creative. Winnette --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
