Thomas,
You have done a remarkable job! So much information with photos, grave
descriptions, obits, etc. I am truly impressed.
I loaded the full version of Pleasant Dale/Steele Cemetery and had no
trouble with time or slowness. I love the internal connections between
people in the cemetery. Researchers will think they have struck gold when
they find your site.
I would love to add a link to your site on our very simple listing of each
of the Kirkland Twp. Cemeteries once they are up on the Adams Co GenWeb
site, so please let me know the url for each of the cemeteries when you have
completed your revisions.

Subject: [INADAMS] Kirkland Township Cemeteries
I intend to do new readings of the four Kirkland Township cemeteries
(Pleasant Dale, Zion, St Lukes, and Shady) this summer. These will
include gravestones that have been added since I first walked the
cemeteries in 1998. Since that time, I have occasionally been revising
the versions I have on my own genealogy webpages. (The first versions
still appear on the Adams County IN GenWeb pages.) I uploaded the last
revised versions on June 30th. I will very much appreciate receiving
any critical opinions by those trying to access these pages. I have
been adding gravestone photos, newspaper obituaries, internal links
between those related, and other material to the basic listing and
descriptions that appeared on the Adams County site. I am worried that
the "full" format of the Pleasant Dale Cemetery is becoming too large.
I am experimenting with three other formats to present this
information. So, I would love any feedback you may have to give me
about problems in viewing these pages before I continue to add and
replace photos, include more obits, and create more links.
