Doing genealogy as a family brings us closer together, and ties us to our ancestors. I love that.

Genealogical societies have long struggled with the challenges of funding their societies, while providing meaningful opportunities for their members to do the research they love.

The solution is finally here.

Documenting a cemetery with BillionGraves now provides income for the society without hampering the research they love.

In times past, honoring and preserving the graves of ancestors was often difficult, because the gravesite couldn't be located, whether in person, or online.

Now, with BillionGraves' technology, anyone can find the gravesite of a loved one anywhere in the world.

Well, you know, I’ve been a fan of BillionGraves from the very beginning. I’ve posted images, I’ve indexed, I’ve done everything with BillionGraves, because I so firmly believe in the concept.

BillionGraves’ unique approach to capturing the GPS coordinates of every grave creates opportunities for families to care for distant graves. Service providers can now offer services directly to the gravesite. This creates an income opportunity for the provider while giving peace of mind to the family — knowing their families gravesites are well cared for.

This creates valuable income for the society that oversees the handling of the information of that site, as every service that is performed is commissionable to the society, providing necessary funds to further their work. How does that sound?

When I started thinking about it, I thought, you know, genealogical societies could really benefit from this because I’ve used genealogical societies’ publications of cemetery transcriptions, but, there’s no map oftentimes. And so, while I had this nice, beautifully done book, I couldn’t get to the grave. And so I thought, what a perfect match. If societies would use their data, and couple it with BillionGraves, the GPS and the location, I thought it’s a match made in heaven.

So I think if genealogical societies really want to get involved in this, I would strongly encourage them. I’ve been in society management for many, many years, and I just feel like there’s an opportunity here for societies to get involved and really, really make a difference.
