'''How will crowdsourcing help?'''  


Crowd-sourcing means that anyone can help with transcription. All you have to do is go to BillionGraves.com and click "[http://billiongraves.com/pages/transcribe/ Transcribe]." The online transcribing form is easy to use. With Find A Grave you could transcribe them yourself or... that is basically the only option. If you are good at taking lots of pictures, but only transcribe a little at a time then this feature is for you. You can even choose to only transcribe or to only photograph graves. It is kind of like a FamilySearch Indexing for cemeteries and graves.
