SUMMARY:Using Gravestones and Cemeteries to Research Your Roots
DESCRIPTION:Anyone working on a family tree should plan to spend some ti
 me in Maine’s historic cemeteries. Finding the gravestone of a long-lo
 st ancestor can be thrilling\, but sometimes that stone reveals more tha
 n simply where a person was laid to rest. In this presentation rich with
  images from Maine\, cemetery historian Ron Romano returns to Bangor to 
 help attendees feel more enlightened as they search (and hopefully find!
 ) grave sites and gravestones of their ancestors.\n\nRon Romano is autho
 r of four cemetery- and gravestone-themed books. He’s served as an off
 icer on the board for the Association for Gravestone Studies\, the leadi
 ng organization in America for cemetery and gravestone studies. He is a 
 long-standing trustee of the cemetery friends group for the 350-year-old
  Eastern Cemetery in his home town of Portland. Ron has designed cemeter
 y tours for nearly twenty historic cemeteries and is a frequent lecturer
  on Maine’s early gravestones\, cemeteries\, and monumentmakers.
