If not, you certainly will. The goal of a valuable partner of FamilySearch, AppTime (who has created the billiongraves.com website and smartphone app, both for Apple iPhone and Google Android models*), is to provide an expansive family history database for records and images from the world's cemeteries, all tagged with GPS locations.

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"
Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico. Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad. La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
