Cheryl, After watching the webinar, I have sent several updates to maintainers, as well as asked them to transfer maintenance to me, so I can see why you see things changing--in the case of my ancestors, things are getting more accurate or complete.
I think that as long as you recorded your access date in the citation, any mismatch found by a researcher who comes after you will be understood. We can only hope & assume (?!) the updates are better information. Bottom line, though, these are secondary sources--always best to find the original if you are trying to prove something, publish, etc. I have been using F-A-G to claim photo requests for the local cemeteries, then walk & take pictures when the weather is nice. Here in Houston that means I haven't done it in months, ha! I believe there is an option in the search to just see what's been updated in the past X days, too. That might help you see what's changed for your family's memorials. --Paula in Texas ________________________________ From: singhals <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2014 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - Find A Grave: the World's Largest Cemetery Database by Russ Worthington Geoff Rasmussen wrote: > Explore Find-A-Grave, the largest cemetery database in the > world and a must-have tool in your genealogy toolbox.

I hope he mentions something I tripped across this week : revisiting some Memorials at FaG that I had already saved, I discovered information missing, added, or changed from my previous visit! That means, I'm going to have to through several thousand names that have a FaG citation. It is, at best, irksome.
