For those who attended the session "Cryptic Clues in the Bone Yard" (by Sharon DeBartolo Carmack) on July 10th Meeting of the Boaz Chapter of NEAGS held at the Boaz Library, have you checked any of your ancestors' tombstones? Either a picture or in person? Have you spotted anything that was from the presentation?
By chance I happened to view the tombstone image of my second great grandfather. I've seen this gravestone many times and never noticed the symbol of the man & woman clasping hands. I had always zeroed in on the death date & 78 years. If I remember correctly, this was a symbol indicating love binding the couple.
Check on http://findagrave.com & look for your ancestor's graveyard & tombstone. Many have taken pictures & posted. FindAGrave is all volunteer effort too. Information posted about the person may or may not be correct. So don't take it as 'gospel' ... utilize it as potential research.
Did you know that Sharon DeBartolo Carmack has a book on cemetery research − Your Guide to Cemetery Research. Perhaps your local library has a copy???
