Join the project to help 5672 volunteers around the world to rescue records and connect families through the following goals:
Goal #1
Upload and Transcribe 1 Million Headstone Photos per Year.
Each headstone uploaded and transcribed creates a permanent digital record so families can find

What is BillionGraves?
BillionGraves is the world’s largest GPS-linked cemetery data resource. This project will help families
find their ancestors and grow their family trees! As volunteers take photos with the BillionGraves app,
each gravestone is automatically marked with a GPS location. The data is then transcribed by volunteers,
plotted on cemetery maps, and made readily available at BillionGraves.com
for millions of families around the globe for generations to come. The GPS-marked cemetery maps not only
allow families to find their ancestor’s gravestones, but they also allow future volunteers to see
exactly what has already been photographed.
