    1. [CHS] Billion Graves app for iPad

    3. Has anyone any experience of an iPad app called Billion Graves? 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.
