I've just come across this and it seems like a great idea so long as it remains free to use. Basically anyone can contribute by photographing a grave, transcribing the inscription and uploading this onto the site including a GPS reference. The index created by the transcriptions is then searchable by surname or cemetery name. If nothing else it does seem to have a very comprehensive list of Cemetaries in a particular area. I'm not promoting this app just wondering if anyone else uses it. Someone has done a lot of photographing/transcribing of Dukinfield Cemetery if you want to see an example.

Hello Bob, In the U.S., findagrave.com has a great many entries. I am interested to see if this has something new and interesting to offer. I believe findagrave has been swallowed up by ancestry.com, but is still free.

Thanks for the link David I wasn't aware of this until tonight. I'd still like to hear from anyone who has used the site either by uploading and transcribing or as a search tool for their own research.
