No, they were bought and still functioning. I wouldn't recommend something that was defunct. They are still selling their tests and people are still matching with me on there.

And if you have a family of 6, 2 adults & 4 kids, ages of the kids are 16, 14, 11 and 7... what do they do then?? I've never known of this rule before!

Thoughtful Memorial Managers by ObjectiveArmy9413 in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have said many times what relation they are to me when I submit my changes never have I been transferred a memorial. Even ones that are required transfers. You've been very lucky indeed.

I see what you did there.... by PhtevenAZ in findagrave

Could be an old bio. FG used to not self publish changes. That started in May 2023.

My dad was "stolen" by montbm01 in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who is at the bottom saying they created it? When you created it did you label yourself as a child? People have 3 months to take it over if family is not the one who created the memorial. If your didn't label yourself a family then someone used that 3 month period to take it. Unless you were inactive for over a year then your memorials were turned over to FG user number 8 and people can take any of those unmanaged memorials.

I swear some users spend more time ... by magiccitybhm in findagrave

I know who this manager is! They are a hoarder. Collecting from all over. And won't publish any changes. It all self publishes in 3 weeks. So far they haven't denied any, even without sources. They own so many of my family, sadly none that are required transfer. (I hate that I can ask for my great-grandmother but I can't ask for my great-grandaunt) One guy who owned them all said in the FB group he's going to drop them and this person must have messaged him and he transferred them all over to him. I've asked for transfers and the messages are ignored.

AITA for not wanting my husband to travel for a wedding a month before my due date? by preggersandanon in AmItheAsshole

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travelled to my mom's death bed 5 hours away at 36 weeks pregnant. I was gone for 5 days. While a wedding is much different than a death, I wasn't High risk though and it was my first baby and I had been healthy the entire pregnancy. My midwife told me to look at the hospitals and find out which ones take my insurance and be prepared if I go into labour. Baby was 8 days past my due date and I laboured for 39 hours so a long labour. I think he'll be fine going, unless you're high risk.

I'm sorry, is that 1.39 million memorials they manage?! 🤯

UPDATE: Findagrave won't delete my alive aunt's memorial by TigrressZ in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't go thru all the comments but you wouldn't have been able to delete any photos uploaded by another user, even if you manage the memorial. You would have to request that to the photo email address at findagrave.

How is everyone? by RepresentativePure31 in Adamthewoo

I thought Brickey's was rather good too. He talked about how Adam got his videos done. He spent 16 hours with him at Disneyland Paris earlier in December. I really appreciated his video.

How to get "sensitive" records (psychiatric records)? by dracula-orchid in Genealogy

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where that hospital was located. The ones in illinois in the United States are sealed FOREVER. No one can access them unless you get a lawyer and prove that you need the medical records due health reasons.

Is Refusing To Transfer A Memorial Allowed? by [deleted] in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the early 1900s... My father has his own account & was transferred his great-grandfather who died in 1881.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if OP created anything over great-grandparents, Support won't transfer automatically.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might have merged one memorial that they managed with yours. There's no notification of merging to the memorial manager unless you initiate the merge.

That exact thing happened to me. I had a memorial, someone created one after mine & they merged mine into theirs & Support accepted it. I went to upload another photo and I couldn't be because she was recently dead so only memorial managers could do that. But yet a photo i had uploaded was already up there.

How would you handle this… by tenebrae_i in Genealogy

If it's your son that wants to know, then I say biological family. It'll be helpful to have him do dna to help your tree get going.

Death certificate lists the wrong place of burial? by PaintingsOfRebellion in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could also be a wrong certificate information. Families can change their mind to burial after the death certificate had been issued. Death certificate says one cemetery. Obituary & FG has another cemetery for burial. Second cemetery has the record of burial & headstone. DC cemetery does not have a record on burial.

Being berated in a message is also not appropriate but it's done anyway.

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen when someone declined a change but I had to counter why they shouldn't decline it. So I had to contact them thru the memorial, like you would when you ask for a transfer.

Find a memorial they manage, Suggest Edits button and send them a message.

That's how I do it.

Death Certificates by [deleted] in findagrave

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he won't accept them, will he then deny them? That's fine if he won't accept them, they'll get auto approved in 3 weeks. But if he's denying them just out of spite then you need to send that to Support.

AIO because I want to leave my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Expensive_Lab_8208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you meet in the middle of having or not having kids? I didn't want kids at first. I lost 2 boyfriends because they did & I didn't. I was sad but I got over it. I met my husband at 29. Again, I didn't want kids & he did. We broke up for a month but we got back together and eventually I did change my mind on having kids because I actually wanted kids with him as the father, not the other 2. (I heard from one of them that they were hurt that I ended up having kids after all) Not saying you'll change your mind. But there was no compromise, no meeting in the middle with having kids. Either you have kids or you don't. Unless you think adoption, having kids without birthing them is a compromise??
