ASHEBORO – Go on some ‘Grave Encounters’ as you learn how to find your
ancestors in cemeteries, in a genealogy class from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday,
October 11, at the Asheboro Public Library
Librarian
and genealogist Ann Palmer will discuss how to get as much information as you
can from a cemetery visit.
“Nothing in
your genealogical research will connect you to your ancestors more than to
stand where they are buried and to see important pieces of their life carved
into stone,” Palmer says.
Topics to be
covered include locating your ancestor’s gravesite; reading and recording
tombstone engravings; finding unknown ancestors; and photography tips. A
handout will be provided with a bibliography and web links.
The class is
free and the public is invited. Call 336-318-6815 for more information.
The library
is located at 201 Worth Street.
