2025 Wake County Genealogical Society Virtual Meetings - next - March 25

We Look forward to seeing you at our next virtual meeting!

Tuesday, March 25, 2025 @ 6:30pm – Virtual

Topic: Gravestone Symbolism

Speaker: Robin Simonton, Executive Director at Historic Oakwood Cemetery, Author, Historian

Genealogists use gravestone information to document death information, but often a burial marker provides more than biographical information. Gravestones, like any record, should be analyzed, but doing so requires us to think beyond genealogical research. In this presentation, we will explore types of cemeteries, the anatomy of a marker, and the hidden information the marker provides.
