Program Description

Event Details

Cemetery records let you know where your family members were laid to rest--and can connect them together.  In general, researchers using these records can expect to find information such as dates of death and interment, cause of death, age, sex, and marital status.  This lecture will illustrate how to find cemetery records and what they might contain.

The fourth in an eight-part series of classes presented by Local History and Genealogy librarian Gwen Kelley.
