Bill, There is an obit re. my husband's death that states that I was dead, sort of like Will Rogers, I think, note that my death had been prematurely announced or some such. That's my two cents worth re. this discussion. Phoebe in CA In a message dated 3/3/2014 6:45:33 P.M.

You should not copy obituary notices from newspapers (or from funeral home notices or web sites) to an individual's memorial record unless you have permission from the newspaper to do so or you are the author of the obituary. Some obituaries that were published in 1922 or earlier are now in the public domain. In general, obituaries in newspapers are submitted by the family with assistance from the funeral home. If the obituary is added to the memorial record, it should list the newspaper and date the obit was printed for example "Published in the Hattiesburg American, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Internet Edition, April 11, 2007". Please do not include the names of living or surviving relatives in the biography, unless you have their permission. If you do not have permission to copy an obituary to a memorial, you may put a note stating the name of the newspaper and the date the obituary was published. Please do NOT add photographs from obituary notices (unless you, personally took the photo), as they are protected by copyright law. Find A Grave reserves the right to remove obituary notices and photographs from memorial records. Similarly, you may NOT scan an obituary and add it as a photograph to a memorial record. Copyright seems to be their major consideration. So if an obit is copied & pasted in the biography, FAG prefers that it be edited and credit to the original source be included. Note that an obit should NOT be added in the photos section. I am not familiar with the term or procedure "brose".

This message should remind each of us that obits, grave markers, even official death certificate are subject to human error. I have found data in all these sources that conflicts with "known" data.
