I think I can help answer your questions about Names in Stone. I write a blog called Grave Mappers that helps people map cemeteries on the website. #1 - To see the list of cemeteries already added, you click on a state and it will give you the total list for that state. The list you printed probably came from the recently added list, because there are many more cemeteries than that in the database. #2 - Headstone photos - If the cemetery has the photos for that grave, they will show on the Source: Cemetery section. If someone has added the photo, it will show when you click on the Community section when you are on the grave. If not, anyone can add photos in the Source: Community section. It's easy to upload any digital image or file - like headstone photos, photos of the person, obituaries, death certificates, etc. #3 - You can contribute anything to the site with the free membership. #4 - The great thing about the site is the capability for anyone to create an interactive cemetery and add it to the website. On the home page, under Map a Cemetery, click on Learn More. There are unique on-line mapping tools that you use to create the cemetery right on the website - they can be used for cemeteries up to about 300 graves, like family cemeteries or small town, volunteer-managed cemeteries. I have created several cemeteries and it is so easy! I mapped the Mendenhall Family Cemetery that you mentioned and am currently mapping the American Fork Pioneer Cemetery. The Names in Stone team welcomes our suggestions on how they can make the site more user-friendly. Come visit www.gravemappers.blogspot.com to learn more!
