Cemeteries may not be at the top of your list of places to visit, but if you know what to look for, they can provide a treasure trove of genealogy information. Learn some practical tips about interpreting symbols and writing on gravestones, and explore other clues that cemeteries and on line burial databases can reveal about your family.
Caryn Alter & Dr. Steve Cohen, co-authors of What's in a Name will share their expertise with us.
