FOLKS:
****As of Aug 20 2018, the new site will no longer accept the detailed information I have been providing for years, enforcing a 240-character limit to captions, which barely allows for a single stone transcription. What is odd is that all my older caption info survives on the revised site, regardless of its length. I have no idea why. All I know is that I cannot do it anymore.
****Please click on photo thumbnails to enlarge photos and access captions. A new screen containing an enlargement of the photo, along with the caption, will appear. Click "View Original" at the lower right corner and the photo will enlarge further than it already has. Click on the enlarged image to enlarge it still further.
****If you have an issue with any of my photos for any reason, contact me (a link to my member profile is located beneath each photo) before issuing a duplicate photo request, which will likely send another graver on a wild goose chase for an impossible photo.
****When you receive an automatically generated email telling you a photo has been uploaded--don't assume that's the whole story. I nearly always put in edits to update or add information not already part of the memorial page. It could take weeks for those edits to be approved by the page creator, but you can see the edits before their approval by clicking on the "Suggest Edits" tab at the center of the memorial page.
****Identify pages by their memorial numbers rather than by name, as names are duplicative and can change as the result of research. Green-Wood's online burial search--the source of most Green-Wood memorial pages, is generally dependable, but nevertheless loaded with small but misleading errors that are inadvertently copied into Find-a-Grave by the page creators.
