It doesn't do any good to submit photos that cannot be read or so dirty you cannot make out any information ... also, these types of dirty photos do not document your family tree research ... if you are going to cemetery, be sure and take along several gallons of water and soft brush and garden tool (to remove dirt / grass from sunken markers) ...
