How to Safely and Properly Clean a Gravestone

How to Safely and Properly Clean a Gravestone with Denise Rice

We will meet at the Paradise Heritage Centre where we will get our briefing from Denise, and head out to the cemetery for a field trip: a demonstration and a stroll through the past of Paradise in the cemetery for those who wish to linger and look. Following all this, there will be nutrition and hydration (refreshments and nibbles) back at the Heritage Centre.

Denise is one of our most noted genealogists, and has kindly offered to show us what we need to know about this.

She is responsible for a huge portion of the knowledge we have of Annapolis County families, giving freely of her time and expertise. She is a member of our Genealogy Circle at the Paradise Heritage Centre which meets monthly.

Her research, collections, and compilations include a huge trove of obituaries now transcribed and available at Annapolis Genealogy.

Denise’s own Facebook page is Home Genealogy by Denise J Rice

She has published too!  Denise J. (Daniels), A Planter Family: Ebenezer and Tabitha (Balcom) Rice of Annapolis County, N.S., 2019.
