As many of your know, I teach an online course for cemetery beginners for Family Tree University. Today, as part of his assignment, the student made a blog about his adventure in the cemetery. This is a first!

Learning + Collaboration = Success
I am really enjoying teaching a class for Family Tree University. This is a comment from one of my students in the class that is completed tomorrow. She is telling me about the gravestone she chose to photograph for the final lesson.
"I chose the grave because there was an open request for a photo on Find A Grave. In the process, I have met a great person whose ancestors lived within 5 miles of our home so I will be helping her by looking up information here in Kentucky for her and she is in Indiana and willing to go photograph my family graves in Indianapolis. Great connection made with these assignment. :) Thanks!"

Dollar Sign
It is a great deal of fun teaching the Cemetery 101 Research class for Family Tree University. (But, I need more students!)
The lone student in this recent class which spanned the Christmas month took a great photo of this grave in a Catholic cemetery (St. Mary's) near her home in Virginia.
I knew I had seen this symbol before and so did a Google search for "dollar sign symbol gravestone" and BINGO, I got a hit to a fellow Graveyard Rabbit's blog. I love the success. Thanks, Joe for the explanation. [credit: Cemeteries and Cemetery Symbols]
Being a Protestant doesn't prepare me for the myriad of religious symbols on gravestones. I have identified two fairly close by Catholic cemeteries to explore. [Whine] "Is winter over yet? [end Whine]
I should add that this symbol of the $ is in Douglas Keister's book (a MUST read) for gravestone hoppers. It is on page 146 and is called IHS or IHC. It is almost always on crosses.

Perhaps you have a friend or know a beginner who would benefit from taking a class? There are a number of classes to chose from on all topics of family history and genealogy.
