I will do my best to capture the entire headstone in the photo when fulfilling a request. However, in some cases, the graves are close together, and it may be impossible to get both the ground and the top of the stone in the shot, especially at the Jewish Cemeteries in NYC. My main focus is on capturing the life cycle information and Hebrew writing on the headstone. If I have to leave out the very bottom of a monument, it's because it doesn't provide any additional information. Sometimes, difficult decisions need to be made.

If a memorial page is for one of your direct ancestors, I am happy to transfer it to you—unless they are also a direct ancestor of mine. If so, I am eager to speak with any newfound cousins.
