Cemeteries

Cemeteries can be an amazing resource for #FamilyHistory research. We will share interesting headstones we come across, information on the towns and the places your ancestors may have been laid to rest, and other tips to help you along the way. If you plan to visit a cemetery, please read this 'etiquette' post before you go. http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2013/11/04/cemetery-etiquette-graveyard-dos-and-donts/
