The originally scheduled program Gardens of Stones has been changed to New Clues from Old Headstones, occurring online via Zoom at the same date and time.
Program Summary
How many times have you transcribed a gravestone and then moved on to the next one? You could be walking away from valuable other clues. Learn how to interpret a gravestone for hints that will lead you to new record sources. Just as important as the text are clues such as location, type of stone, carver, symbols and the epitaph. This talk will take you through specific examples to get the most out of interpreting gravestones.
