Sambron Cemetery Photos Online

I stumbled upon a site that will probably be of interest to anyone with relatives from Sambron, Slovakia.  This site has an index of the grave sites in both of Sambron’s cemeteries along with photos of them.  It’s a little difficult to figure out how to get there so I figured I’d create this “how to” post.

Start with the Sambron main website at www.sambron.sk.  Once there, click on “Geoportal” in the left sidebar.

www.sambron.sk website

Clicking on “Geoportal” brings up this CLEERIO map site of Sambron.  There are a bunch of overlays and map options you can play with but the one I want to explore here is the cemetery info.  Cemetery in Slovak is “cintorin”.  Click “Cintorin” in the left sidebar.

Click on “Cintorin” and then click on the icon of the table to bring up the list of grave sites on the right.

Once you get the index up on the right side, you can click on the “Hroby” tab to have it show the grave sites on the map.  Then, if you click on one of the rows of the index, it will show you that location on the map and also bring up the information for that grave site, along with a photo.

You can continue to click on all of the grave sites and bring up the information and photo for each.  Some don’t have any information listed when you bring them up but you can still look at the photo.  There’s also a search option if you want to try and search but the images without information won’t be found.

Getting Started

Where do I begin?  As I said on the My Story page, I’m not a writer.  I’m not quite sure what to do with this Blog page and posts in general.  I know that others use their blogs to post instructional things like what software packages are good for this or that and what sites are out there for doing research.  That isn’t my intention for this site.  Besides, I’m not on the bleeding edge of genealogical research, I’m usually following.

My current thought is I’ll use posts to talk about what I’m working on.  If I have a new hint or DNA match that looks promising I’ll put that out there.  If I found a new site with information on my families I’ll share that.  Maybe something interesting that I’ve found that may help someone else.  Beyond that, I’m not quite sure what will show up in my posts.

My wife suggested that I post about new stuff that I add to the site as I add it.  That’s a good idea.  She has lots of good ideas about how I should do things 🙂  So that’ll be my next post.
