Pam Taylor is our speaker for our Sept. 11 meeting. Digging Into Cemetery Research, this presentation covers a multitude of sources used to locate death certificates/records. Pam also provides information about different types of cemeteries, grave markers, and their symbols. Of particular interest will
be illustrations of burial permits and coroner records. This presentation is an in-depth look at cemetery research with beautiful photos and source examples.

Of her experiences, Pam says, “I have been working on my family history for over 25 years, searching the United States, Canada, and across the pond. My greatest success stories come not from the internet websites but from digging into libraries, archives, historical societies, cemeteries, and courthouses. I love using FREE genealogical websites such as State Archives, Libraries Local history databases, FamilySearch.org, Poznan Project, and so many, many more. For the last 13 years, I have worked at the New Lenox Public Library, where I am the Genealogy specialist which includes presenting genealogy programs and helping patrons with their genealogical research.”
