- I accept 99% of edits. I trust you. I LOVE edits. Thank you, helpers!

- I'll transfer anyone, no reason needed. The fastest way is to use "send suggestion" on the profile.

- I take up to a thousand photos at a time. I'm not offended if you want one deleted and re-taken but please check if it has a GPS and/or plot location so someone can re-find it!

- Copy my photos anywhere you want, you don't need to ask.

- Some photos have incorrect GPS locations due to poor cell service in that area. Delete incorrect coordinates if you see them (e.g. grave should be within cemetery borders and not in the river).

- If you seek Winnipeg/Manitoba info, you can try these free resources:
1) The Winnipeg Tribune (1890-1980) archives - often ran same obituary as the Winnipeg Frees Press - https://digitalcollections.lib.umanitoba.ca/islandora/object/uofm%3A1243378 .
2) Manitoba history books - https://digitalcollections.lib.umanitoba.ca/islandora/object/uofm%3Amanitobia_books
3) Manitoba Vital Statistics - https://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php
4) Henderson's Directories (phone/address books) - http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/henderson.html

- Plot locations should be written in the same way for an entire cemetery if possible. I try to mimic a cemetery's official online list of plots if available and if not, use what most people already have used so that they match each other. For example, at All Saints Cemetery (#199565815) I used "Letter Number Number", e.g. A 01 01 (always 01 instead of just 1 to keep it in numerical order). This makes it easier for people to find graves and to see which wider areas need to be photographed.

- I use Wikitree for my genealogy and it's great!

* Manitoba - Selkirk - West St. Paul - Holy Ghost - Sections A-I, K, and M. I transcribed but didn't add the niche photos so far. I I can't find Section J! I've looked twice!
