Has anyone on this list ever listed their info on Find a Grave? Has it been a good experience? Have you made contact with other family members? On the other hand if it has been a bad experience can you say why. I have been thinking about adding the info I have but wonder if it is a good idea or not. Arleen

Arleen, I have gotten information from the site. Sort of accidentally fell into the site, doing a search. I also have added info, to it.

It is a wonderful group. I have "found" several family members. It really helps when the person you are searching for is buried in a state that is too far away from where you live...I have had a great experience with everyone that I have worked with, we are all working with the same goal, to find the final resting places of our loved ones!

Since there was so little of my families information on line, I've been posting it on various sites. I also pay to have the ads removed from each page, although just a couple at a time.

I have had good luck in finding RI ancestors on Find a Grave. I had a nice e-mail chat with the person who took the pictures. She entered my name as the contact for those particular ancestors. So far, I have not been contacted by other family members. All in all, I'd say I have a very good experience with Find a Grave.

I entered info at the Find a Grave site and thought it went fine. I've never had any contact with other family members as a result, but I didn't really expect it.

Thanks Everyone I am glad to hear that findagrave is a good site. I tried to join but seems there is a problem with the registration. I am not getting an activation code. Yes I have written to them and am still waiting to hear. Hope the problem gets solved soon. Patti I noticed a long list of names, asking for grave pics, for a cemetery very near to me. Yesterday I started on that list but can't post until I am fully registered. Folks have always helped me out when I needed pictures so seems only right for me to help others. Maybe others on this list will give it a try also, heck it doesn't cost anything now with digital cameras. Arleen
