Stats: The final submission has 2261 records (2216 old, 45 new) 2249 with photos. The most recent burial was: 2017-03-01. The earliest death is 1912-08-02 (with a newish stone), but the next oldest is 1928-08-12 (see list).
Corrections: This update includes the following changes/corrections, (not including added data or cases where the death date was moved to the burial date):
Death/Burial Dates: There were few more than 1713 records indicating that DeathDate might be BurialDate (DDBD). After adding DeathDates from stones, and moving old DeathDates to BurialDate (if after DeathDate), 386 DDBD notices remained.
Flowers: The 1133 notes about flowers were removed because flowers might no longer be provided. The BdH office could be contacted for additional information regardless of whether flowers are provided.
Checking: The checking of the data produced 458 added or changed lines. Some changes were multiline changes, especially when the old value was retained for tracking corrections (~100), but most were single-letter or -number changes. A more detailed analysis is possible.
Schematic map (garage is gone): Except for the east-most row nearest Road A (bottom of map), each long horizontal row is made of two back-to-back rows of stones. Within a row number, adjacent graves do not necessarily have adjacent grave numbers; adjacent grave numbers might belong to stones facing away from each other. For example, 15:11 and 15:12 are adjacent grave numbers in Row 15, but they are back-to-back.
Time Spent: I did not keep close track of time, and I usually only worked for a few hours at a time, so these are rough estimates, but there are time stamps on the files so more accuracy is possible.
