    Watch Eligio Peña's presentation "Visiting a Cemetery and Uploading Photos to Find a Grave". Learn the basics of things you need to know before visiting a cemetery for research or to photograph its tombstones.

    Also, learn about Find a Grave and how to upload images to it to help make them available to everyone.

    You will also be amazed at how great of a tool it is and the kind of genealogical information you can find.

    Below is the outline of the presentation and what to expect form each one.

    Here is the Outline of the Video and What to Expect

    Intro Dialogue - Just a quick introduction to the video presentation.
