Monmouth County - Eatontown - “Cemetery Crowdsourcing”

Sunday, November 11 – Monmouth County The Monmouth County Genealogy Society Topic: “Cemetery Crowdsourcing”     Michael Cassara will share his enthusiasm for cemetery research with an up-to-the minute technology twist at the Sunday, November 11, 2018 Monmouth County Genealogy Society meeting at 1:30 P.M. at the Community Center, 72 Broad Street, Eatontown. He calls his approach “Cemetery Crowdsourcing.”    Cemeteries can provide genealogists with clues that exist nowhere else, he explains. “Thanks to the internet,” Michael tells us, “even the most remote cemeteries have become accessible to researchers worldwide.” During this talk he will explore the future of cemetery research, including BillionGraves, Find a Grave and other apps and strategies for the genealogist.    As a New York City-based casting director for theatre and films, Cassara has been involved in more than 400 musicals, plays and movies since 2003 but his true passion is tracing his Italian, Irish, and German ancestors.    The meeting is free, and the public is very welcome.
