Footnotes ...
<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Amherst) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Amherst. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.8316, Longitude: -64.2092 |
<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 Cape Station (NB) and Lower Cape (NB). The cemetery can be found near that line and roughly halfway between the two communities. Remember that this is just an approximate location. |
