Cemeteries are invaluable repositories of genealogical information. GIS is an extremely useful tool in genealogy. What happens when we combine the two?

Check out the St. Michael’s Cemetery Project, one of a number of projects that maps out cemeteries using GIS. Go to the map, zoom around and use the information tool to get low-down on who’s buried where. Imagine if every cemetery had this type of tool! Wishful thinking…

I haven’t really looked to see if there’s a list of cemeteries with GIS, but if I can’t find one then I’ll scour the net looking for everything I can find an provide a list. This is extremely useful and people need to be able to find such tools.
