Purpose: <\/b>For large cemeteries with more than 800-900 memorial images it is easier to manage if the images are not all contained within one directory. Thus all images which begin with the letter 'a' would be placed in the 'Ltr_A' directory, etc.<\/dd>\r\n\r\n
Actions: <\/b><\/dd>\r\n
No: <\/b>Indicates the memorial images all reside in the 'cemetery' directory. No is the default.<\/dd>\r\n

Note: <\/b>A second image may be included by separating the two names with the pipe character… ('|'). The first image is normally a photo of the cemetery gate or wide view of the tombstones.

Naming: <\/b>To separate this image from the memorial images within the folder on the FTP site, the name should begin with the underscore character ('_'). If the cemetery uses the alphabetical 'Ltr_' option, the file must be placed in the 'Ltr__' folder… (note the TWO underscores in this second folder name).

    Purpose: <\/b>Some cemeteries over the years were known by one name but presently are know by another. Someone searching for their ancestors may have records using the 'old' name.
