Grave Matters: Digging Through Cemetery Research (Member Meetings)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Hockessin Public Library, 1023 Valley Road, Hockessin, DE 19707
Grave Matters: Digging Through Cemetery Research
Learn about techniques, websites and other resources, including wills, death certificates, obituaries, headstone transcription projects, interment lists and cemetery databases, to find new information about our ancestors.
Finding a Cemetery - The Reconstruction of Records for Destroyed Cemeteries
Many Afro-American cemeteries were 'relocated' as the city of Wilmington
expanded. When segregated cemeteries were no longer required by law (1970s), some cemeteries fell into disuse. The records from those cemeteries have been lost to time. How do you reconstruct the records for a cemetery when the actual records no longer exist, and the church has no records of burials?
Finding Rachel Rion – Searching for Ancestors in Unmarked Graves
Finding and working with old plot plans to locate ancestors can be challenging but rewarding.
Speakers: Susan Kirk Ryan, Regina Barry, Reese Robinson |
