Date: Saturday, June 27, 2026
Time: 1:30 - 2:20 Eastern Time
Presenter: Carol Ansel, Director, Godfrey Memorial Library
Topic: Cemetery Research: Online and On Site
Carol will talk with us about cemeteries. When you think about online cemetery resources, you most likely think first of Find-a-Grave, which has both its pluses and minuses. There are a number of other online cemetery resources, with which you might be less familiar, and each has its own features to differentiate it. We'll take a closer look at several of them, including the Godfrey's own Laput Collection.
We'll also talk briefly about the historic
changes in headstone designs, symbolic meanings of various carvings, and we'll talk
about changes in the overall design of cemeteries themselves throughout history.
Please register by 4:00 PM Friday, June 26. The invite will be sent out on that Friday.
