PROJECT Cemetery Records - The Cemetery Index

The Cemetery Index is used to manage the recording effort and correlate data between the Gravestone Index and the Gravestone Photos. It contains three main areas:

1. Cemetery names - including CemID, where we use the farm name / number as found on the 1:50 000 maps of SA. There can be more than one cemetery location on a farm (see 3.)

2. Documents - including DocID, which tracks recorder and submitter names, dates entered, etc. There can be many documents for a single cemetery, due to revisions, updates, etc.

3. Cemetery locations - including GPSID, which contains the GPS coordinates, links to eGSSA photo albums, etc., and provides data for the Google Earth Cemetery Initiative. There can be multiple cemetery locations on a farm.
