AN UPDATE TO THE BELOW:

To clarify the largely asked questions (read full thread) "How will FG know if the person is related?" - I got this from Peter Drinkwater at @FindaGrave who I hadn't mentioned in my original post. Apologies for confusion - this is what I received... [1/] A beige background with tex...
"On the question of how to make sure someone is related, it’s a good question and one of the trickier parts of the change. We’ve thought about and have plans for it, but will need to watch it carefully. Our plans focus on limiting the number of relationships someone can... [2/]
...claim, so while there will surely be some cases of people claiming to be a relative when they are not, it shouldn’t be an avenue for significant abuse or for people to accumulate large numbers of memorials to manage which we hope will be a disincentive to abuse. We’ll.. [3/6]

A thread...

Following my thread about FG I began contacting people to try and speak to someone to FG about a waiting period and last night I spoke to @FindaGrave and this is what's coming.

*NOTE* In this thread is only what I've been told in an email, it may change. 1/ A yellow-ish toned photo of a graveyard with text on top say
So first things first:
"When a Find a Grave member creates a memorial for a person who has died recently, we'll ask if they are related. If they are, they can create a memorial that will look and act just like other Find a Grave memorials on the site... 2/

A thread...

[To @Ancestry/@FindaGrave]

One thing I want to try and achieve is to help improve the genealogy community and industry as a whole. And a major thing I want to improve on is FindaGrave. You might think "here he goes on his rant again" but hear me out... [1/15]
While FindaGrave has proved to be an invaluable tool for family historians and genealogists all around the world seeing headstones of ancestors or relations that are very far away. (For example me being in Ireland and having relatives buried in New York)... [2/15]
It has also proved to be a place that brings uncalled distress and bitterness. The culprit? Impatience and a competition to increase people's stats. If you had been previously unaware of this @Ancestry, I invite you to read this thread... [3/15]

Okay, this is going to be the start of a humongous thread! Below are the links to lists of genealogists that are able to do genealogy research (and other bits!) in different countries. Think of it as a directory of genealogists! Please feel free to refer people to this list!
If you're looking to research your Irish heritage (the only list I'm in!) find Irish genealogists below: twitter.com/i/lists/129210…

Genealogists who specialise in research in Ulster - see: twitter.com/i/lists/129207…
