Find-A-Grave-100-million-photosFind A Grave is the original cemetery website. One that’s been going for 19 years in fact. I’m sure all of you have ended up on it at some stage to check a record or two, while some of may have even uploaded some photographs.

If you haven’t done so, obviously plenty of others have as just this week Ancestry (who owns  Find A Grave as of late last year), announced that the 100 millionth photograph had just been uploaded to the Find A Grave website.

100 million is huge. That’s a whole lot of photographs of cemeteries and headstones, and that’s a lot of people recorded.

It’s no secret that Australia and New Zealand aren’t well represented on Find A Grave at present, but for all those cemetery-traipsing-photographers (who I know are many), keep Find A Grave in mind as a place to upload your cemetery pics.

That aside, Find A Grave has stood the test of time, and has grown to be huge. 100 million huge. Putting it simply, a website like this doesn’t work if no-one submits photos to it. So to the many, many thousands of people who have contributed to the site, thankyou for helping make the site bigger and better.
