When they survive, headstones can offer important clues to understanding the lives of those who came before us. Join author of A Guide to Massachusetts Cemeteries, NEHGS Chief Genealogist David Allen Lambert to learn how these memorials—from the type of the stone used to the carvings to the position of the family plot to the burial documents left behind—can shed new light on your ancestor’s life.
