How to Submit Photos for William Pierce

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 William Pierce. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.

• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for William Pierce.

• 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: PEHL0844; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEHL0844; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: PEHL0844^1; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEHL0844^1; is SPECIFIC to William Pierce and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.

• 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.

• 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 him with filenames img_2694.jpg and Pierce family.jpg
• The specific prefix code for this person's plot is PEHL0844;
• Your modified filenames will be PEHL0844;img_2694.jpg and PEHL0844;Pierce family.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
•PEHL0844; north side of tombstone eroded by nature.

PEHL0844; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg and
PEHL0844; Another caption~ Pierce family.jpg

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