Cemetery Files for FindAGrave.com

These files are cemetery plot and headstones pictures files provided here as a service to FindAGrave contributors because FindAGrave limits photo uploads to 500 kilo bytes and 1200 pixels wide.

The files are named by the person on the headstone plus the cemetery name, location and date taken. For example, SmithJohn-Headstone-CedarvilleCemetery-OldCemeteryI-Lot18-CedarvilleModocCA-20110603.jpg.

Plot means a well defined bounded area, Area is a group of family graves, Monument a more elaborate headstone. If there are different surnames with a plot or area, then the plot name precedes the individual names to keep them grouped alphabetically.

Notes:

  • The image is usually a digital camera file and may contain the date and time of exposure. The image files will be about 1.5 MegaBytes each. There may also be a text file, of the same name with the extension .txt, that contains other information, such as the GPS coordinates, cemetery records, etc.
  • GPS coordinates are 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.
