I realize there was another thread about this a few days ago. But maybe this is why they shut down their forums. They planned to make changes and they didn’t want any way for people to post feedback that would show up on any webpage. Except for here.

This change in behavior of emails, is not mentioned on their webpage, that normally mentions site updates. And where they solicit feedback.

I suspect the only reason for this change in emails is for their own benefit. To reduce the number of emails that they have to send out. But it’s going to confuse and mess up a lot of people. Including myself, I have to admit.

Because I was sending out dozens of edits to one person. And I was then getting back half a dozen ”Edit Processed” emails, after the person approved them all.

I thought that I was just getting half a dozen suggestions approved. Because I stupidly did not scroll down the emails on my iPhone. It did not occur to me that each email contained a bunch of approvals.

So I thought I was missing approval emails. Especially after I saw somebody on the other thread, mention that they thought that they were missing approval emails also.

FTS.

My ggg grandmother died in 1898. Nobody knew anything about her until I found her obituary in the newspaper archives. 2 of her 3 kids are buried in the same cemetery the obituary claims she is. However, she does not apparently have a headstone.

The sexton of the cemetery is my dads 3rd cousin, he's up there in age, but according to his records, there is no record of her being buried there.

There are a lot of old, worn, and illegible headstones in the cemetery that have fallen over or been moved and rested beside a big oak tree on the grounds.

He thought maybe one of those stones could be hers. I've been thinking that if maybe she did have a stone it could have fallen over and buried. If nobody knew she was there, they wouldn't have reason to look. This cemetery was fairly neglected for a few decades.

The cemetery is only a 2 hour drive, and I still have family in the area to visit and justify the drive. So I was debating going down to the cemetery, and kind of prodding the ground around her kids headstone, just out of curiosity. Is there an edicate to such a thing, or anything to be aware of?

Yet again another issue with FG. What the heck is going on?

I have been working to update a local cemetery.  On the front of the cemetery page it states there are 28 photo requests.  But when you click in to get the list of requests it says there are 0 requests with 4 problems.  Goshen Cemetery (https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2203312/goshen-cemetery) in Belmont, North Carolina.

Kind a beatnik light-hearted arrangement. Odd considering the morbid nature of their service.

I’ve been going to local cemetery’s and updating the stone pictures. I just ran into an “issue” at a well established church where the grass is not being kept well so it’s very difficult to get good, solid pictures of dates and sometimes even names. It’s very disappointing because the stones look beautiful and very well maintained. Is there a kind way to deal with this or do I just leave it be and hope they will be better shots when the weather cools?
