BillionGraves is one of the only cemetery databases that captures GPS coordinates for every headstone image, creating precise spatial data not available in most genealogy sources. Beyond simple grave lookups, the GPS features allow genealogists to identify family clusters, reconstruct burial patterns, distinguish same-name individuals, and map migration or community ties within a cemetery. This Quicksheet highlights how the GPS information works, what clues it reveals, and how to use it to uncover relationships that are invisible in traditional cemetery indexes.
