Visiting Cemeteries: Top 5 Tips for Family Historians
1. Be Respectful: Remember that every cemetery is sacred ground and someone’s final resting place. Bring a friend or let others know where you are going and when you'll return.
2. Do Your Homework: Research the cemetery, burial locations, and family connections before you go.
3. Document Everything: Take clear photos, record inscriptions, map locations, and note nearby graves.
4. Come Prepared: Bring water, bug spray, good walking shoes, a soft brush, and a charged phone or camera.
5. Give Back to the Community: Help another family historian by fulfilling photo requests on Find A Grave or BillionGraves.
