Lase weekend I was able to attend the Saturday seminar held at the
Riverton FamilySearch Library. One of the classes I attended was about Billion Graves, a new application created to collect and upload cemetery headstones. Below is the information about Billion Graves that is provided by
FamilySearch.org.
- Cemetery
- Application makes it possible to search and display cemetery and burial information.
- Volunteers
- Application makes it possible for Volunteers to "Give Back" by contributing family history resources to be used by others.
Collect photos of the headstones in your local cemetery with our iPhone or Android camera applications. Then upload the mapped-out photos here. Transcribe information from uploaded headstone photos - then descendants everywhere can easily search for their ancestors. Search for your ancestors' graves using our easy search. You can access their headstone records, photos of headstones, and accurate locations of all the graves.
Try it out! One more thing you can do with your iPhone! (or Android)

I have it on my android phone but haven't had a lot of time to check it out. It looks like a great app.
