Find a Grave

Both sites are collaborative communities. Profiles are created by users. If you find a profile you think needs to exist on either site, you can create it.

The question is, are these profile posted on the official find a grave site too?

What profiles?

I think I can answer your question Sophie -- Geni and Find a Grave are two separate entities. The Geni profile managers search Find a Grave for documentation, if they find that any of their profiles have been added to Find A Grave, then they upload that page to the Geni profile for source information.

I'm sure there are several Geni profiles who have not been added to Find A Grave.

Okay Sophie, a question for you. Are you referring to the Find A Grave site, or the Find A Grave project within Geni?

well, i just wanted to know if the profiles here on the geni project were allready memorialized on find a grave. i think i have my answer after inputting some of the profiles. i do thank u for respoding to my question Leslie.

RThis is the first time I've heard of "Zombies". Could someone please explain it to me? Thanks...

Carol,
Same here but she was listed as that don’t know if she was messed up some how or what?

A 'zombie' is a profile on Geni which appears that it should be a Public, deceased profile (e.g.: due to its surrounding profiles with dates, or its position as an ancestor of long-deceased profiles) -- but that 'zombie' currently shows as that of a living person. (i.e.: it is grayed out).

Some 'grayed-out' profiles are legitimately so, such as:
-- living persons, where privacy is paramount.
-- profiles of a deceased person who has living children or siblings.

Only a Curator (or immediate family descendant) can make that determination.

Mary Veitch should be open profile to all. I updated her bit so things make bit more scents lol. Been busy doing profiles here. Hers was one randomly chosen. Thanks Dan for explaining all to us.

These two names were mentioned as having been added to the Find-A-Grave site - but no matter how much or how little info. I put in a Memorial Search there, neither of them show up. Have they realllllllly been added there by someone from Geni?
- Benedicta Ludlow - b. ca. 1391-96, d. 1427 - of Tong Shropshire - (parents names are Sir John de Ludlowe & Isabel Lingen, Lady of Tong).
- Sir Richard Vernon, Speaker of the House of Commons - b. ca. 1390, d. 1495 - of Haddon Hall, near Bakewell, Derbyshire.

Also, I made use of the possible variations of dates - +1 or 3 or 5 years, etc.
I have found a couple of Geni additions on the Find-A-Grave site - & not found several others.
Thanks for any help or advice given...

When posting that a name in Geni has been added to the Find-A-Grave site, it would be helpful to include the Memorial ID number.
