Many of you have submitted photos for our
Gallery, for that we
thank all of you!! At this time we have 1 cemetery submitted for
Iowa. Many more people have asked
about submitting photos, here is the best way to get them up
quickly:
- Send an email to
Iowa Genealogy
- Provide the name of the
Cemetery
- Number of Photos
- We will provide the answers to
get your photos to us.
Your Photos
We will except all cemetery
photos, but size is very important. The best size you can send is
no larger than 600X200-600 (approximately) pixels. If you
send a photo that is 1500x1500 pixels or larger, these all have to
be cropped and that will take us longer to get them online. When
taking photos, center on the stone, it is nice to have a little
grass around the stone, however, the stone and reading it is what is
important.
Quality of Photos
The better quality photo you
send the better it is going to show up on line. We also use these
photos to read the information on the stone.
Your County isn't Listed
Not a problem, just let us know
what county and we will set up the county. When you ask us to add a
new cemetery any information about the cemetery you can provide
would be welcome. Main gates or entrances are also nice to have for
each cemetery.
Cemetery Survey
If you have a survey of the cemetery that is always welcome, we are
preparing a database of cemeteries that will be linked to the
tombstones. These do take a little longer to get online because
they have to fit the database and in many cases they have to be
retyped.
Obituaries
You are welcome to submit obituaries to our Obituary
pages for any of the counties we presently have on line or we will
start a new page for the county of your choice. Please use our
Comment Form!! Thanks
