Genealogy: A Beginner's Guide to Cemetery Sleuthing With Erin Mouton
Cemeteries hold invaluable clues to genealogical research. Etched in stone are names, symbols and abbreviations that not only tell us more about our ancestors but also about their place in time. This program will cover strategies to help locate your ancestor's burial place, how to make the most out of a visit and how to decipher a variety of symbols. Includes a list of Erin's favorite cemetery resources. Note: Most of this content covers New England cemeteries, though many symbols can be seen nationwide.
