A new mobile device app called “BillionGraves,” which combines GPS location data with the pictures users take of gravestones, will be highlighted by FamilySearch presenter Tim Cross at this month’s Utah Genealogical Association webinar on Thursday, November 17, at 7:00 p.m. mountain standard time.
Those interested may watch the live webinar—a virtual meeting broadcast on the Internet—free of charge at the UGA website. After the presentation is over, a UGA membership is required to access the recording.
The BillionGraves app, which is available free of charge on Google Android and Apple iOS devices, enables users to upload photos of headstones they take with their phones to an online database, where they are mapped, transcribed, and linked to FamilySearch.
“This app helps everyone identify where his or her ancestors are buried,” said Tim Cross, product manager for FamilySearch and presenter for the webinar. “A trip to the cemetery won’t be the same.”
The photographing and transcribing effort, performed by volunteers, has already generated 250,000 headstone transcriptions in six months, Brother Cross said, making family history more accessible to researchers whose ancestors' graves and names were previously inaccessible.

Still looking, weird guy (not you him). Apparently he was arrested in the late 1980s for a confidence scam, people don’t remember him at the Jerry Fawell university, the only positive stuff about him is what he writes about himself and lds sites repeat.
Well, we will see.
I may have just confused his press conference where he apologized for his relatives and their actions towards mormons, with a retraction.
So?

OK, read the article and it was good, but it says nothing like what your post implied about Mitt or his Dad.
The problem: mormonISM
mormon leaders in error: yes
The sects: give examples of what Christian churches you are talking about and their foundations, before comment.
It mattereth not where the BODIES are; but where the SOULS are.
Does MORMON teaching differ from CHRISTIAN teaching in this matter?
And the country wasn’t ready for the evasion and RINOness of MITT Romney, in 2010.
Will we have him successfully FORCED upon us next time?
He could NOT beat a fellow rino last time, what about NOW?
With real CONSERVERATIVES (though flawed) in the running?
Sorry; but it appears that you are comparing TODAY's church with those of JS' (etal) time.
Which of all the sects among the various and competing churches is the one you think is the real Church of Jesus Christ? Your call.
Let's let the MORMONs of today answer that one, as I am not the one who has claimed all of the things that MORMONism has.
Do YOU agree with or repudiate what the MORMONs of old claimed?
Will you admit that the MORMON religious organization BASHed all of CHRISTIANITY with NO documentation?
“...Don’t place your hope in a ritualistic proxy ceremony that happened in some Mormon temple for your sons; “
I know Matthew and Mark will be with me again. Thank you for your prayer.
I did some work for Ancestry.com in 2000 when I lived in NYC.
