How to Submit Photos for Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith

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 Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith. 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 Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith.

 • 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: COBUN4826; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code COBUN4826; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

 • For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
   • Copy this code: COBUN4826^1; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code COBUN4826^1; is SPECIFIC to Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith 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 Smith family.jpg
   • The specific prefix code for this person's plot is COBUN4826;
   • Your modified filenames will be COBUN4826;img_2694.jpg and COBUN4826;Smith family.jpg
   • The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
   •COBUN4826; 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):
    COBUN4826; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg and
    COBUN4826; Another caption~ Smith family.jpg

 • ALL images for Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith 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 Elizabeth "Betsy" 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):
