This cemetery has no discernable rows. The cemetery is divided into right and left parts by an old track going up the hill. I began my "rows" on the left side of the cemetery, starting right to left. I went to each row right to left. I listed the left side as "A" and the right side of the cemetery "B". In doing side "B" I went left to right. A few of the head stones or statues had as many as 8 people listed on them, all from the same family. Some of the headstones were very hard to read, even with rubbing.
