    3. TeaFor2 Web Manager: You missed my point! I have visited various cemeteries and even your website many times. However, If someone has to search through your website to find a picture, why post dozens of single individual picture references as you have been doing? Simply post that many with this surname are buried at the cemetery and your cemetery website has pictures of the gravemarkers. Invite people interested in your geographical area to come and look. I think your many posts on dozens of mail lists with individual names on grave markers is a waste of effort and is spam to many people. I often get multiple surname lists each with dozens of your postings of individuals and that is all that is in the lists. This is spam to me and detracts from the meaningful info in the lists. If it is too much trouble to link to the individuals picture, don't bother posting the individual's name. Just think how much simpler that would be for you! Most researchers know they can look up cemeteries and find transcriptions and can do web searches for pictures of grave markers. Don't misunderstand me, it is great that you have many pictures of grave markers posted on your cemetery website and that is a very fine service! However, a single post once a month for each surname mail list giving your website features is sufficient! Leave out single individuals names OR list them all! But don't waste many folks time by multiple single listings of one name across dozens of surname mail lists everyday! It is simply too much spam and distracts from the more meaningful information on these various mail lists. I invite others who may agree or disagree to comment on this.

I invite you to visit the cemeteries. I did give you a link to my web site where you can access the pictures for FREE in 3 easy clicks using the information I provided. Give it a try, if lost click on HELP, still lost, get back to me.
