The program will also discuss how to obtain vital records from the Commonwealth and religious institutions; the subject of why and when to exchange money for records; and the various online research resources that are available today. Finally, the workshop will demonstrate how the information and symbolism found on cemetery grave markers can often serve as vital clues in the quest to uncover our past. Giving up the Secrets of the Grave: A Genealogist’s Workshop will conclude with lunch, refreshments and socializing. The program will be led by Carol Yaster, Board President of the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery; and Daniel Dailey, Board Member of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, and Program Associate for Laurel Hill Cemetery. Both are seasoned genealogists and cemetery enthusiasts who bring firsthand experience and advice to bear on the subject.
