I think this is a great idea to launch another resource to help family historians.
Several months ago I signed up with Find A Grave and have been happily doing my bit around my local cemeteries. They say we should get out walking more .. so why not fit in walks around a cemetery and do something useful with a camera in hand.
This is one of my latest additions, a lady who escaped slavery in America and who was supported in her new life of freedom by the Quakers of North Shields:

You can also just add 'no gravestone' to save anyone traipsing to find one. I do think a lot of us would just be happy enough to know where someine ended up even if there was no gravestone.
