Submitting Cemetery Information

I am always pleased to receive cemetery information to post on the Grundy County, Missouri website. If you have information to send, if possible, please email it in the following format:

• Last Name, First Name, Middle
• --- If woman, maiden name if known
• Birthdate, Location if known
• Death date, Location if known
• Burial location, any information on the tombstone, including "shares a stone with ..."
• Parents names if known.

Please use upper and lower case letters, not all caps. For dates, unless you are sending me the entire cemetery list, please use month, day, year or day month year as the format.

For example: [showing both date styles]
      Smith, Frederick I., Jul 25, 1880 - Mar 2, 1937, husband of Mary Elizabeth, shares stone with Mary Elizabeth
      Smith, Mary Elizabeth, 1 Mar 1881 - 2 Sep 1940, wife of Frederick I., shares stone with Frederick I.

Pictures

• Name the pictures in all lowercase letters.
• Use the initials of the first and middle names.
• Put last name first.
  When I match the picture with the names, I can easily find them if last names are first.

For example: smithfred.jpg

I do reserve the right to rename files as needed.

If Fred and Mary share a stone, then name it with both names: smithfred-mary.jpg

Do not send just pictures. It is too difficult and time consuming to go through each tombstone picture and try to read names and dates. These will not be posted.

I will resize and crop all the pictures, if needed.

You don't have to alphabetize the list of names.

One IMPORTANT last thing: Please write the name of the cemetery and the county in the subject line of the email. You'd be surprised how many counties have the same names for their cemeteries!

Thanks for your cooperation!
