Cemeteries are an essential resource for family historians—grave stone inscriptions can reveal birth and death dates, family relationships, and other details. Epitaphs and symbols included on gravestones also carry significant emotional meanings that can provide context to your ancestor’s life and death. In this online lecture, Chief Genealogist David Allen Lambert will go over strategies, record types, and resources you can use to make the most of cemetery research.
