Cemeteries can be a rich source of information for the family historian. Join Bill O’Neil for an illuminating overview of graveyards and markers, and an exploration of a variety of death-related documents. Bill's talk will include images of interesting tombstones from some of his favorite haunts.
This class is free and open to the public for October Family History Month, but seating is limited. Registration confirmations will be sent to the first thirty participants who register. Walk-ins will not be admitted.
Register online.
