“Digging for Dirt in Cemeteries”
Presented by: Kristi Sexton
Cemeteries are a great source of information about our ancestors. Join us to learn about the different types of cemeteries and the information that can be found on tombstones and in cemetery records. Kristi Sexton will discuss what you can learn from gravestone symbols, tombstone preservation tips, and how to record what you find digitally and virtually. Websites Find-a-Grave and Billion Graves and their features will be covered.
