Find a grave.com photographed my 6 year old daughter's headstone and put it online. I was aghast when it popped up on my monitor. I have contacted the prosecutor and state police. The prosecutor says that I can file a civil complaint about this infringement against the guy who took and posted the picture. This person will not answer my emails and the police have located him. I feel this infringes on my privacy, copyright laws and personal property of mine being placed on the internet for advertising purposes. I'll write again to let everyone know the outcome of this.

Seriously??? Firstly, to those that have VOLUNTEERED to put in the time and energy into this website. There is NO EXCHANGE OF SERVICES. You didn't purchase anything. This place isn't exactly a "business". They have advertisers to be able to support the cost of the server, etc, but they aren't selling anything to YOU. It's a private website. You haven't walked into Kroger or Walmart and have been SCAMMED. Even so, THOSE businesses have the right to say who can and cannot be on their property (it IS private property). There ARE people that have caused problems at businesses and have been issues TRESPASS notices (they are not able to return=BANNED). This website is NOT owned by you.

As far as pictures, etc go...well...you've decided to put someone in a cemetery where people can walk into it a good portion of the day. You cannot stop someone from taking a picture there just as you cannot stop someone from taking a picture of your HOUSE (provided they are not on your property). There is no crime taking pictures of headstones. And, let's be honest: when you DIE, you are public record. Ever check out a social security death record? EXACTLY. Even your SOCIAL number is public.

Have you truly spent time on Ancestry.com? Give me your full name, state you live in (I don't need a city), and a year of birth...I bet I can pull up NUMEROUS previous addresses for you. Maybe even yearbook pictures...and things about your parents, grandparents, siblings that even YOU didn't even know.

For me, I like to add cemetery records...especially the older ones. I feel TERRIBLE for those "forgotten" people who died and whose children, grandchildren, etc are probably gone, too, and they don't get visited. I like to pay my respects and I like to try and imagine what their lives were like. Were these people doctors? Lawyers? Farmers? These things added to FAG are NOT done in spite. So GET OVER YOURSELF.


Bottom line: if there is no crime, MOVE ON. Be pissed all you want and maybe next time you will consider cremating and keeping an urn at home for nobody else to see.
