The presenter demonstrates how the individual or family grave and its appearance are of great concern to Europeans. The question of death and burial records – often asked by North American researchers – is also discussed in detail. \n\n\n\nSend your name and email address to Becky Thornton at rthornton07@gmail.com to receive the link for Zoom. \n\n\n\nDownload: 1671118720_NorthCarolinaChapterSeminarJan21.pdf
