Event Details

A tombstone can tell you a great deal about your family members. We’ll look at the types of information you can expect to find in a cemetery. What clues do the icons found on the tombstones provide? We’ll take a look at records supporting tombstone research. And we’ll dig into restoration, care, and replacement of these treasured stones.

Sue will present over Zoom; this program will not be recorded. If you need a Zoom link, please email Ben Johnson at programs.ben@salinapublic.org
