ZOOM Genealogy Club - Saturday, June 27, 2026

 

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.
