Strolling Through the Park: Revealing Ancestors in the Cemetery

Presented by Diana Crisman Smith

Saturday March 18 from 10:00 AM to Noon

Zoom Meeting - Registration Required

You “know” where your ancestors are buried. Someone told you, it was in the obituary, you found it on the death certificate, someone posted it online, or it was on a tree in Ancestry.com.  So why would you want to visit? What more can you learn? Is a picture good enough?  When you find information in the cemetery, do you know how to interpret it?

Thursday March 30 from 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Too many Johns! Same Name ancestors are always difficult to trace, but separating out individuals in colonial records can be especially hard. Join us for a discussion on some ways to track Same Name people. We will be working on a case study, so sign up early to get the "assignment".
