Cemetery Crawl
10th Annual GGG Cemetery Crawl
It is hard to believe that the German Genealogy 10th Annual Cemetery Crawl is approaching! We will be visiting the Long Island National Cemetery at 2040 Wellwood Avenue in Farmingdale on
June 7, 2020 at 10:30 in the morning by the main entrance. There are so many interesting stories and even symbolism to be found in this National Cemetery which was established in 1936.
To celebrate the 10th Crawl, those who are interested may want to join together at the Black Forest Brew House which is nearby the cemetery. Lunch, snacks, or a celebratory drink would be on your own.
As usual, JoAnn Schmidt will be taking “Cemetery Reservations” at her email Familystalker50@gmail.com Please sign up so that any updates can be passed directly to you.
Hope you join us, since we all enjoy the “crawl,” sharing each other’s stories, and learning about the residents of the cemetery.
