Diane will explore the Find A Grave website to show how to search for memorials from around the globe, utilizing some of the enhanced search features to find people. She will also demonstrate how to use the Mobile app on your smartphone when visiting cemeteries. You can locate cemeteries and gravesites using GPS coordinates, and take photos to upload and add to Find A Grave memorials, including captions and GPS locations. This often-overlooked website has become a valuable genealogical resource, and is one to which you can easily contribute. We invite you to share your experiences with Find A Grave as well.

Diane is a member of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, serving as the Society Treasurer and Secretary of the Merrimack Valley Chapter. She has been involved in genealogy research for forty years.
