Drawing of Brame/Hand Cemetery

The grave numbers used below correspond to the numbers on a map made by Francis Fox Spinks 22 April 1976 and to a corresponding list (my file \geneal_1/cemeteri/klondik2). Some of the stones in 1998 are obviously not in the same position as they were in 1976 but all of the stones seem to be accounted for except 8. In 1998, I don't remember having seen the slabs over the Hall graves that are shown in the 1976 sketch and the slabs don’t show on the 1998 video.
