    I don't think this site is mentioned anywhere else on here, I was directed to it whilst looking for information on Ancestry. I found the grave I was searching for with a great picture which I could download. There are Google aerial shots and lists of nearby cemeteries, really worth a look.

    I agree that it's worth using the billiongraves site particularly in conjunction with the other sites as its map layouts are a convenient way of refreshing your memory on cemetery locations. From a random search I found quite often another site had a more comprehensive list for a cemetery that had few actual photos at billiongraves and vice-versa. Simply scrolling early Canadian records at all sites gave me a couple of migration patterns to pursue for my casual one-name studies.
    I was reminded as well that I had undertaken a search at a local cemetery (in West Toronto, Canada) on behalf of someone I had met on line. In the course of that research I gained a much better understanding of the part my local and ethnically diverse community had played in WWI.
