Find a GraveReviews of findagrave.com

the Find a grave is a must if you are doing Ancestry searches . you just have to know how to use it correctly and some of the information you have to provide yourself , and one of the really good things i like about it is the Volunteers all over the world who will happily take a photo on request . you have to remember that most of the Memorials are put on by the Users so you have to search a bit and hopefully someone can help , and you can also contact there support staff who are always very helpful

The site is a scam. Their software will not find any of my six relatives graves at the Seaview Cemetary in Rockland Maine. It also sells my information and the opt-out link is not recognized

If you are doing geneology then this is a must use site along with the ryserson index in Australia. The sort of people complaining seem to be similar to the ones that think they own the road outside their place and no one else should park there. Quality varies as per any site that relies on volunteers (who don't suddenly become Einsteins).

I have had the worst experience with Find A Grave, There's a contributor who spends 24/7 collecting obituaries the Second it gets posted and doesn't allow anyone else to grab, This contributor does NOT go to cemeteries and volunteers what so ever, He has more memorials than photographs, When I left the site, I specifically asked find a grave to send them to a few of my Find A Grave friends to which by the way, 100% failed to do so, and that one contributor I did NOT want to get any of my memorials grabbed like 90% of em!! and changed what I had done. One thing that drove me crazy is that this person removes the period by the middle initial which I dont have a clue why, Its not his to start with. Admins cherish this person since He has broken all the rules in the Find A Grave thing, Create duplicates, sending nasty emails to others, etc. and I got yelled at by the admins for duplicates. Like I don't think so. This person did his damnest to get rid of me, well he has succeeded. I got tired of this same thing over and over again. For someone who managed nearly 200k memorials and photos which btw most of them were copyright from other peoples work is less than 20k, what does that say? I had more photos than memorials which means I was a true volunteer, I dont sit around all day and all night collecting memorials so no one gets them and get mad everytime someone asks for a transfer cause your losing 1 memorial.. oh boo hoo...

I agreed to take photos. A couple of days later I asked advice and assistance via a web chat. I agreed to pay $2 for a phone call from an"expert". I felt this a bit off. While processing the "$2" payment via Paypal I saw that Patpal was going to transfer $74.

ZERO Stars. Find a Grave is a poorly-managed, user unfriendly site purportedly providing individuals with information about the final resting place of loved-ones and friends. THEY ARE NOT. Find A Grave is one of the private information-gathering arms of a cult which places great significance on family history to support their spurious doctrine of being baptized for the dead. That being said, you will find that about 75% of the people reviewing Find A Grave give it one star (or less). EVERYTHING they do is biased toward their own organization. They "allow" people to give them free research and post it to their site as if it were true. God forbid it if you should ever have to correct information submitted by a member who has been on the site for 14 years and contributed 23,000 memorials. THEY ARE GODS -- you don't dare correct them (even if it was wrong information they "memorialized" about your own parents!!!). I just want to save people the hearthache of going on ANY family history website with the false hope of getting help from them. All you will do is give free information for them to make money off of, and end up with a bunch of someone else's poorly-researched, hastily-posted information about your loved-ones and friends. Don't CONTRIBUTE a single thing -- and don't believe the garbage they churn out as they laugh all the way to the bank at your expense.

Zero stars. Some people complain about "grave harvesting" folk who get a kick out of "owning" other people's memorials which they have no connection with. And that's one problem. But THEN when a family member comes along with useful information and tries to take over the management of a family member's memorial they are refused! The robotic people who run this site have no genuine interest they are just in it for the money. Avoid this site!

Auf der Suche nach einem Bekannten bin ich auf "finde ein Grab" aufmerksam geworden. Anfangs war ich von der Idee begeistert. Nach umfangreicher Recherche komme ich leider zu dem Schluss, das es sich NUR um eine "Geldgier-Seite" handelt, die - wie viele böse Webseiten - im angelsächsischen Raum ansässig ist. Hochintelligent und mit sehr viel Geld aufgezogen. Bei meinem letzten Besuch wurde ich innerhalb weniger Minuten mit mehr als 30 Werbespots/Tracking "zugemüllt". Mein Fazit: Es bestätigt mir, dass es viel zu viele Idi....... gibt. KB
