Morning Geoff - I saw on the GWF that you were able to list who was buried where in a cemetery in a kind of 'cemetery walk through'. The context was that someone wanted to know who was buried either side of a particular casualty. How do you do that using your search engine?
How do you do that using your search engine? Paul, I'm sorry to say you cant! I have rather more options on my desk machine than are on-line. (and can do almost anything with a bit of software tweaking) However cemetery and grave reference is probably too much data to add to the on-line version. The burial plot was something I worked out a while back - it gives me a list of occupants for a specific row in a cemetery (with a bit of manual twiddling). Mostly it works, if the numbering scheme is standard. One of the more advanced features that I worked out was to find brothers (for Bob Pike's Gallipoli project). I found between 200 - 300 pairs using a pattern matching algorithm on the data, but that was an exceptional search that needed a fair bit of manual input - to make a final eyeball decision on the match. regards, geoff
Hi Geoff - thanks for that. I suspected it to be the case, but just wanted to ask! Just goes to show what a powerful tool you have there!
