More than 2.1 million records have been added to our cemetery index for the United States.
The BillionGraves index is a great resource if you're looking for information about your ancestor's death. It includes over 21 million headstone records for the United States alone. Each entry includes a transcript of what's included in the record, a photograph of the gravestone, and GPS details of the precise location of the gravestone. So you can see your ancestor's grave without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
We’ve also added over 97,000 records to our BillionGraves cemetery index for Canada.
Headstones are a great resource for family history. They provide vital information about your ancestors, such as birth and death dates and may also provide additional details about their lives. Gravestone inscriptions can show family relationships, societies or organisations your ancestors may have been part of, military rank or affiliation, religious denomination and more. They could even reveal those missing clues you need to overcome a tricky 'brick wall' and provide guidance on where to go next in your hunt for your past.
