Registration for our free October program is now open! 👻🎃

Our ancestor’s final resting place can help answer many of our genealogy questions. This presentation demonstrates strategies for locating where your ancestor is buried, examples of different cemetery records, definitions of select headstone iconography and symbols, correlating with other records of death, and much more!

Open to the public but you MUST register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/sXYENLVNTLiImR0bWOMfpw
