Buried Deep But Not Lost Forever: Discovering Your Ancestor's Final Resting Place

Finding an ancestor’s death record is often the last search we carry out on an individual. However, locating their final resting place and any gravestone or marker can yield so much more information which you could be missing out on.

This presentation by Linda Hammond will show you how to narrow down the search area when seeking the burial site of your deceased ancestor. We will also look at the types of records available to help in your search and where you will find them. Through an analysis of online sites and communities you will see how to access records which you might not have been able to, due to geographical constraints. We will also investigate the variety of information you can find and the usefulness of the information will be explored. Finally we will look at how to share this information with others and how to preserve both the markers and the data itself.

This talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society, and we request a donation of £5 from non-members. Pre-booking is required, because the meeting link will be emailed in advance.
