Coming in September:CAGGNI by the Road Trip team 10:30 a.m. CT Saturday, 18 September 2021 Webinar
CAGGNI’s Road Trip committee made the decision this past spring not to plan a traditional Road Trip to a repository, but instead do a cemetery project in the northwest suburban area. The team visited three cemeteries and added photos and GPS to Find A Grave and photos to Billion Graves. It was a learning process for all as we learned about local resources and more about the cemetery sites, Billion Graves and Find A Grave. Come join us as we share the highs and lows and successes of the team that included 30 CAGGNI members. This program is free and open to all, but you must register to receive the Zoom meeting info.
