About this webinar

Genealogists LOVE cemeteries but we don’t always know the history behind them. When we know the history, types, and traditions of cemeteries we can do better research that helps us understand our ancestor’s final resting place. In this presentation we will take a look at the history of US cemeteries, what you would expect to find depending on time and place, and where you can find records beyond the usual places.

    Great Info. I just had my grandparents headstone cleaned up in the cemetery in Dublin and it had their death dates on there that couldn’t be read before the cleaning.

    Gena is a wonderful presenter and researcher! I have listened to several of her webinars here at Legacy and learn something new every time. Her syllabuses are wonderful and full of great information. The Genealogy Society I belong to has had Gena present several classes for us both on Zoom and in person before COVID. She is a pleasure to work with and to listen to!
