    3. After reading all the comments in the past 24 hours I decided to put my comment in. Yes, I like Find a Grave. I have found family that way that I may have never made contact with. No, I DO NOT like it when people STEAL pictures. Find a Grave says you have to be the one to take the picture. The person taking the original picture should be asked for it's use and get credit. Unfortunately, everyone is not honest. One person I contacted reguarding pictures posted on Find a Grave said she took them from another site, and had no  ties to that cemetery, I have alot of family buried there, but someone else had taken the pictures for which I am grateful. It is people like her that give Find a Grave a bad name. She was not willing to remove it nor transfer the people she had posted from tombstone info. She was willing to let me send her the info I wanted to post/correct so she could submit it. I was not willing to do. I don't mind sharing and when someone requests a picture I have taken it's theirs to do with what they want. Can we put this subject to bed yet?   Ruthann Rives Hellemeyer
