FS's Find a Grave index

Richard Otter

Anyone know how often the index to Find a Grave on FS is updated?

I've recently entered a number (>300) find a grave memorials that match FS FT people.

I'm wondering how long I need to wait until the hints to FG start showing up in the FS Family Tree.

Thanks

I don't know how often, but it was last updated on 26 July 2024 according to the list of all collections.

Richard Otter

Yes, thanks. I saw that too.

Now, does anyone know the answer to my question?

@Richard Otter This Community is comprised primarily of users of the website, not staff. And FS doesn't publish that sort of detail. For most record sets, we don't know when something new is coming. For the Findagrave.com set, there may not be a fixed calendar schedule for an update but rather an algorithm that updates the record set "if changes exceed ####"

Richard Otter

Great answer. It directly addresses the question.

Thanks!
