Find-A-Grave Volunteer Support Files

• Photo Gallery
• Headstone pictures are named by the person on the headstone plus the cemetery name and location. For example, SmithJohn-Headstone-CedarvilleCemetery-CedarvilleModocCA.jpg. Sometimes multiple names as for husband and wife. Plot means a well defined bounded area; Area is a group of family graves; Monument is a more elaborate headstone. A plot name may precede the individual names to keep them grouped alphabetically.
• Picture files are usually digital camera files and may contain the date and time of exposure, etc., and will be about a MegaByte each. Select Info in the gallery.
  
• Text files (*.txt) contain other information, such as the GPS coordinates, records, etc.
  
• The file date and time may not be the time the photo was taken or scanned.
  
• GPS coordinates, if provided, may have been fudged slightly to show correct position on GoogleEarth.
  
• The files are not permanently here. They may be purged at some future time if I need the disk space.
  
• All of the military headstones in the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) plot at the South West corner of the Fort Bidwell Cemetery have been photographed, including the Unknown Soldier plaque for those who died at Fort Bidwell.
