How to Submit Photos for Joan Druce Read

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:

 • IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.

 • You currently have selected Joan Druce Read. You can submit photos for her plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just her.

 • On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Joan Druce Read.

 • DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.

 • For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
   • Copy this code: CBSPCM15011; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code CBSPCM15011; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

 • For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
   • Copy this code: CBSPCM15011^1; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code CBSPCM15011^1; is SPECIFIC to Joan Druce Read and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for her.

 • HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.

 • ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.

 • If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.

Captions:

 • A caption can be embedded in the filename following the semi-colon, terminated with a tilde (~). See example below.

Monument Example:

 • Suppose you have two photos of her with filenames img_2694.jpg and Read family.jpg
   • The specific prefix code for this person's plot is CBSPCM15011;
   • Your modified filenames will be CBSPCM15011;img_2694.jpg and CBSPCM15011;Read family.jpg
   • The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
   •CBSPCM15011; north side of tombstone eroded by nature.
   • Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
    CBSPCM15011; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg and
    CBSPCM15011; Another caption~ Read family.jpg

 • ALL images for Joan Druce Read and others on the same stone or plot MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.

Personal Pictures Example:

 • Suppose you have two images for this person's monument with filenames 40thBirthday.jpg and Joan Druce Headshot.jpg
   • The specific prefix code for her is CBSPCM15011^1;
   • Your modified filenames will be CBSPCM15011^1;40thBirthday.jpg and CBSPCM15011^1;Joan Druce Headshot.jpg
   • The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces)
   • Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
    CBSPCM15011; Your caption here~ 40thBirthday.jpg and
    CBSPCM15011; Another caption~ Joan Druce Headshot.jpg

 • ALL personal photos of Joan Druce Read MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
   • These personal images will NOT appear for others on the same stone or plot.
