A Quick FindAGrave Tip: Percent Photographed

The "Percent Photographed" on FindAGrave might not mean what you think it does. And that could lead you to the wrong conclusion about your ancestor.

Thank you!! Can't tell you how many times I have had to explain this!!! Really wish FAG would change the way they label this.

I was trying to explain this to family members about a NYC cemetery that has over 54,000 burials and has max 13,000 memorials.

Oooooh! Had no idea!

[@Ziv2023]

Explains so much, always confused me during research. Thank you.

[@angelpearce]

[@BeyondBecca]

Great to know, thank you!

Goodness this changes our views on what to do next when we can't find headstones. That is SO misleading and quite sneaky marketing.

[@patriciajrs46]

Great thing to know. It's just more of the half truths that we live with in our lives. More of the "basically" the truth.

Does anyone know why some people walk around cemeteries photographing headstones of people they are not related to? I'm not complaining, they provide a needed service but it's a lot of work and they do it for free.

That makes absolutely no sense. Thanks for the heads up😊
