This "Buffalo Soldier" needs his Find A Grave memorial fixed

Question

I just created a profile for an African-American soldier, born in Chicago, who was killed in action in February 1945 in the Po Valley. (this had been on my to-do list for a while - I needed to confirm that his sister had passed away so he could be connected).

Unfortunately, the Find A Grave memorial linked to the profile (it is worth it as it includes a photo and burial certificate) contains wrong family relationships. The person presented as his mother was in fact his grandmother, and the "siblings" were uncles and aunts.

Would someone with a Find A Grave account be able to straighten this out? I'd be very grateful!

(also, for USBH contributors, there is still plenty of family to add around his parents)

(and yes, the biography is underwhelming. Feel free to expand)

You can actually on Find a Grave go to edit on the memorial and make suggestions usually they follow it up and change the incorrect details.  I do this as I do use FAG and feel its only right to do so for other Geneologists following.

Put in for a disconnection and correct parents/grandmother are now in the comments!

(second link in citation is Memorial #11214763 - that's what I clicked on first and is incorrect)

Thank you! It should be this memorial: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/112147639/lawrence-v-blanchet

There was a number missing in the memorial ID on the profile. The links from the profile should work now.

Perfect. I hope they take care of it soon!

Good job Patty!!

Answer 2

I worked on adding some more military information for this profile. Every veteran desires to have a profile that reflects his contributions to his country. Especially, those who lost their lives in action.
