Footnotes ...

A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Tiger Bay) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Tiger Bay. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 27.7592, Longitude: -81.8470       In this case, the coordinates for Tiger Bay 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.
