About this webinar
If headstones could talk, they would have a lot of stories to tell. But they can't, so BillionGraves is the next best thing. BillionGraves is the world's largest GPS-linked cemetery data resource. As you take photos with the BillionGraves app on your phone, each gravestone is automatically marked with a GPS location. The data is then transcribed by volunteers, plotted on cemetery maps, and preserved on BillionGraves, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage websites for millions of families around the globe for generations to come.

Thank you, excellent presentation
I knew very little about BG and nothing about adding photos via iphone. Full of clear and helpful information. Thank You.
Thanks, Sandy!
Very interesting information and easy to follow directions.
I appreciate all of the information given today. I do have old photos of a cemetery stone that is no longer in existance. I would like to upload the picture and I will attempt to do that.
Hi Tracy, Thanks for attending the webinar! This link explains how to add photos to the BillionGraves website that were taken without the BillionGraves app: https://support.billiongraves.com/support/solutions/articles/35000031871-how-do-i-add-a-supporting-record-
Very well done explanation of using the Billion Graves app.
Very well prepared and presented. Fascinating and exciting. I downloaded the app during the presentation, created my account, and followed along on the app as various tools were explained. I found that my mother's grave isn't included yet. She died just four months ago. I'll get her headstone photographed and added to the site this weekend.
That's terrific, Reed! I'm glad you are going to put your new knowledge to use. Thanks for attending and for your kind remarks!
Fantastic presentation! I am so excited to learn about this app and how Billion Graves works. Thank you for a wonderful presentation!
Thanks so much, Karen! I'm glad you were there. We appreciate your support!
This has a lot of very informative and useful information. Thank you.
