Learning from Members

City of Stones: Cemetery Research

Presented by Carol Baird 

Speaker will present remotely / Presentation will be recorded

Monuments and the words and symbols upon the stones were meant to be seen by future generations as a memorial to our ancestors. What was inscribed often tells us more than just statistics. Death is not a final chapter, but a window into the life of a person and the history of a nation. Let me tell you a story of those cities of stone, chiseled over time; or of mausoleums, holding the ashes of those who chose not to be buried. I will give you a case study, some anecdotal cemetery stories and take you on an emotional ride with an uplifting end. 

Learning from Members is a partnership program between Carlsbad City Library and the North San Diego County Genealogical Society (NSDCGS). Participants will learn about various genealogy topics and tips through these presentations offered by members of NSDCGS.

The program is held the second Tuesday of the month from January through November and is presented in person and virtually.

  • Doors open at 9:30 a.m. for social time.
  • Presentations, including question-and-answer sessions, are held from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
