If you walk into a cemetery and open the free app on a smart-phone, and search for a grave, it will show you precisely where it is located. On the internet, you can go directly to Billion Graves website and search for Montezuma, Cayuga, New York. All of the cemeteries will appear on a map and you can select each one to search. Once the cemetery is opened, you can just click on the search screen without filling anything in and it will show you every person who has a stone there. Clicking on a single person, shows you that person's individual photograph and information. Going to the Volunteer tab will open a satellite view of all the graves in that particular cemetery.
