Its seems generally unknown that Find-a-Grave is owned by Ancestry.com. Because the entities are related, for some Find-a-Grave contributors, this may present an unwelcome open copywrite situation. Any info or photos one posts at Fine-a-Grave can (legally) be plagiarized by an Ancestry Member allowing them to creat a Family Tree of the Find-a-Grave's family. Based on personal experience at Ancestry.com, there seems to be a competion amoung some Ancestry members to create the most number of Family Trees. So they go over to Find-a-Grave and plagiarise information and photos. This may be annouying but just another sign that posting hard-won personal data and precious photos on the internet opens up the front door to most everyone. My advise: Watermark photos posted at Find-a-Grave and minimize information posted. If one wishes, use Ancestry.com only for research and/or join Free WikiTree (yes Free) and create your profiles, biographies and classify them as "Private" i.e. unseeable by public until the subject is more than 100 years old etc.
