Footnotes ...
<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Apua) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Apua. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 19.2614, Longitude: -155.1961 In this case, the coordinates for Apua have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
<2> | The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com. |
<3> | To help visualize the location of the cemetery, we've drawn a straight line between the communities of Naalehu and Pahala. The cemetery can be found near that line and roughly halfway between the two communities. Remember that this is just an approximate location. |
<4> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |
