Grandmother’s memorial denies her birth mother

1

Findagrave.com Memorial ID # [protected]. My name is Jeffrey Dean, son of James Warren Dean, Son of Bertha and Hugh Dean. This memorial lists in the bio that my Great Grandmother Julia Ingold is NOT my Grandmother's birth mother and names some other woman. It lies and says Julia Ingold is listed as "step mother" on Bertha's marriage license. I have tried to get this person (who is not a blood relation) to correct this error and she became belligerent. I then requested she turn management control over to me (user terms there require a non relative to turn management over to a direct relative when requested). The person then created a BOGUS account under my cousin Mike Davey's name and transferred management of all her accounts to that bogus account. I contacted Findagrave.com 3 times about this and was IGNORED! I have the proof that Julia Ingold is listed as MOTHER on my Grandmother and Grandfather's marriage license. The person, in the bio of my Grandmother, references a home town newspaper where supposedly my Great Grandfather Clifton admitted that Bertha's real mother was not Julia. I was IN THE ROOM in 1976 during that interview. My Grandmother and her daughter Leola both ran to their rooms and cried. Later I asked why and was told "because his mind is slipping." When I explained this to the person controlling the bio, she added a blurb in the bio disputing these facts (even though she wasn't even there) and calling me a liar saying "he was 100 years old and still sharp as a tack" even though she hardly KNEW the man. (I don't recall ever seeing her in the same room with my Great Grandfather Ross and she was NOT at his funeral). I'm as livid as I can be. I cannot link my ancestors to this memorial because it's wrong and I cannot link to my Great Grandfather either because the same woman controls that memorial as well. A complete stranger to the family who, may have been at one time married to my cousin Mike but no one knows if she still is, because she's been estranged from the family for 4 decades!
