Come and join the Walworth County Genealogical Society as the members and friends help proof-read the gravestone listings for a new book to be published soon. The event will occur on Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 9:00 AM at the Lyons/Hudson Cemetery located on North Road just north of Hwy 36 in the town of Lyons.
Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch, pencil and notebook. Later, some of the group will also do St. Joseph’s Cemetery, which is located south of Lyons. Walking cemeteries prove to be interesting and rewarding as it is one way of recording past generations for the present and future generations to use in compiling their family trees. One might even come across an unusual notation or symbol on a gravestone.
This outing is in place of the regular monthly meeting. For additional information, please call 262-215-0118 or 262-728-6182.
