Event Details
Darien Library and Middlesex Genealogical Society (MGS) welcome Marian B. Wood for a virtual presentation on Find a Grave.
Marian will share tips and tricks for using the free Find a Grave site to research ancestors, memorialize their burial places, and connect with cousins. Beyond the basic search techniques that can uncover new genealogical clues, see how to catch the eye of cousins and researchers by linking family-tree members, posting ancestor bios, submitting edits and flowers, and personalizing your member profile. Also learn why and how to create a virtual cemetery for your ancestors--so relatives and descendants will know exactly where the bodies are buried!
This is a Virtual program conducted via Zoom.
