ONLINE Digging for Clues with Cemetery Research

Genealogy

Learn how to inexpensively find a relative's final resting place, plus tips on dealing with the cemetery office, the grounds, the mausoleum, and the weather. Appropriate for all skill levels.

Dan Niemiec has spent thousands of hours and hundreds of trips looking for relatives near and far at cemeteries in Chicagoland and elsewhere. Daniel Niemiec has been the monthly Italian genealogy columnist for Fra Noi for the past 14 years. He has given over 100 presentations to local genealogy societies, libraries and several national conferences.  He has researched his family for nearly 3 decades and has traced his Italian roots back to the mid 1600's. By tracing the descendants of those ancestors, he has well over 90,000 known relatives.......many of them are buried at local cemeteries!
