The Samford Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR): Day 1

The 2012 Samford Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research.

After a rough start (flight cancelled), I made it to Birmingham, Alabama to spend the week attending Hogwarts for Genealogists. This year is African American genealogy & I am thrilled to be back!

Jerusalem Baptist Church Cemetery, Fairfax Station, VA: Gravemarkers

I really feel like Lee Hubbard told me about this wooden gravemarker (head & foot markers...) years ago... I'm embarrassed to say that I had forgotten all about it. I have no idea how old it is or whose grave it marks. I think I'll have to have Lee take me through the cemetery to share his amazing knowledge. Stay tuned.
