Someone may want to update the information on the cemetery. Also list possible alternate names as St. James Cemetery or Saint James Cemetery, even though the official name is St. James Graveyard. Note that Saint is not spelled out, but abbreviated.

Hello,
I verified the location of the cemetery in current assessment records, and added latitude/longitude coordinates and historical periods for this cemetery. I also added "Saint James Cemetery" as a variant name.
As to Saint vs. St., it is my impression that abbreviations are generally not used in FamilySearch Places; however, since I cannot verify that in the training/guidance documents at the moment, I could very well be wrong. (Assessment records do not give a name for the cemetery, since it is owned directly by the church, and not a separate cemetery corporation).
Thanks.

Many places in FamiySearch Places use the abbreviation St for Saint. The search capabilities of FamilySearch Places automatically understand "Saint" as "St" or "St." or vice versa. The presence of any of the three (St, St. or Saint) is enough for any of the three to be understood by FS Places.
