I never have used it much, but I checked it out just now and it is really nice that every one has a picture, for sure. Will definitely use it out more in the future, although there are far fewer graves up for where I checked than on Find-a-Grave. I do wonder how they would stack up if we only included profiles with photos, though...
Wrong! Especially when I want to see what other contributed/submitted - I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE TO BE MEMBER BEFORE I CAN EVEN SEE CLEAR PHOTOS! All photos there are deliberately fuzzy and unreadable unless you're member of BG first.
Hi David! The program that BillionGraves run to offer a month free of BillionGraves Plus is described at https://billiongraves.com/bgplus/index.php. You can contact support if you have questions about how to take advantage of getting the additional features without paying. Thanks!
One big problem? Mandatory membership subscription to see clear photos as well as not allowing corrections (I tried but they refused to correct one couple who were actually brother and sister).
Hi David! Membership is not a "problem"; they run a freemium business model, which makes some features available for free and others are paid. Although, if you contribute to the site by transcribing, you can earn credits that get you access to paid features; I did that for years. It's nice that they offer that trade - access in trade for help contributing 🙂.
What was the correction you were trying to make for the brother and sister?

About that brother and sister, it's already over 5 years and they still refused to correct to make them brother and sister, not husband and wife.
