How to report a possible transcription error

These transcriptions may contain human errors.
As always, confirm these, as you would any other source material.

Boswarlos Community
Cemetery,
Port au Port

District of St. Georges Bay

View of Cemetery

 

 

This is a well kept field near the community of Boswarlos on the north side of the Port au Port Peninsula. The cemetery looks out across Port au Port Bay towards Fox Island and the Lewis Hills. The cemetery has only a few markers and several of these were hard to read. Much of this cemetery is open space, not sure if it was used or if any evidence of the grave and there markers have just disappeared over the years.
