    Cleaning & Gleaning

    with Alan Olson

    How to Properly Clean and Care for Cemetery Monuments

    and What You Can Learn From Them


    Alan has spent countless hours in cemeteries, searching for the resting place of his ancestors and cleaning monuments. Alan will show us how to access records and how to locate and properly clean monuments. Bring your questions. Alan will have the answer!
