Your state government should have records associated with the site, but if your search comes up empty, you might find a few interested archaeologists at a nearby university who could probably help you find out more.
Have you asked at your local library? Often they have genealogy resources or know who in the community is dedicated to the genealogical and historical work. You might also ask at the closest church in the area to see if former families were known and possibly congregants. Some communities it can be harder to find the information than others. Good luck with your research.
I got to help clean the rounded top monument 2:39 min mark, 2 years ago when the 48 State Tour passed through Elkton. The day it was done there was an immediate difference, but seeing how it's progressed over the last 2 years is AMAZING! Anna Is so full of great information and is just easy to talk with.
you my friend are an earthly angel. I cannot thank you enough for doing this so that the descendants of these people can know where their loved ones are resting
Wow, he is a plethora of information. He knows it and he wants to share with great people you are to take care of those or forgotten. God bless you all.🙏🏼🌹✝️👍🏼
Nice to see SD...love cemeteries in general. I found a small one along 29 in nw Iowa might intriguing to you to help...or one in s central mn where some of my ancestors are. Thanks for all ya do
So interesting! Where I live in California graveyards don’t have much if any damage because of the lack of water moss or lichen. So much neat history to admire in graveyards!!
Learned a lot from this. The man teaching in the video, is he local to Elkton? He'd be great to come speak to our scout troop. My son is going to clean headstones for his eagle project this fall. I'm going to have him watch your channel😉
I work with Scouts. We have a young woman working toward her Eagle but needing a project. She has family in the military, so it was the recent Millennial Stone Cleaner video about helping with veteran stones that I thought "I should forward that to her for an Eagle project." We have several local cemeteries that need some cleaning and repairing. Maybe it can be an idea for several of our scouts.
The people who upkeep cemeteries generally are all volunteer. Each grave must be given permission by the family members of the deceased , in order to even touch the grave marker. So the volunteers usually are the same group of folks for many years, it helps alleviate issues between local governments and families, that sort of thing.
Please, can you get rid of the music when you are speaking. As someone with hearing issues, it ruins your videos as its just a strain to hear you. Thanks! Ps yes i can read, but its not the same 😉
Where do you find information on these old monuments? We have an old cemetery (late 1800’s) on our farm in Alabama and I can’t find any records of it.

It’s also a good thing that Jonathan from the Wisconsin Historical Society is also doing this too

She seems rather lovey

Thanks for showing how you repair the stones

Thank you to you and your team!!! And the people who came out to watch and help!!
Amazing work and grateful for great people like yourself.
That burial vault is not cement, it’s concrete. Cement is used to make concrete
Passing on knowledge is the key

I'm so glad to see you post! It's been awhile...
The stone came up beautifully and I'm sure your grandfather would be very pleased and proud.
Baltimores old eastern cemetery you’d probably spend a year correcting all the toppled stones
That's where The Wire was made??
Thank you for what you do
You are amazing
❤ Master Class!! Long Live the Cemetery's 👍😎✊

Above ground is unusual there…and here in New Orleans that’s our usual burial style
This is my new favorite channel. I'm so glad I found you on Instagram 👍
Beautiful Work 😊👍☘️❤️
Very interesting video, thank you for sharing and all that you are doing!

You guy's are doing a beautiful thing,please keep up thr great work
This is awesome and I'm so happy you're out there doing this. But who are these people who volunteer?

What is the best way to clean moss or fungus off of the stones?
Please, can you get rid of the music when you are speaking. As someone with hearing issues, it ruins your videos as its just a strain to hear you. Thanks!

Hey! There are two of my friends from Nebraska in the background!
Is there something you can put on the marble to make it more stable
Amazing 😻
Are they under that mausoleum? They obviously don't fit in the walls.
Why do you call the gravestones "monuments"?
Monument to their lives
Some of them might be cenotaphs, where there's not actually a body; like if someone was lost at sea.
I wonder what their bodies look like now.
There might be a Vampire in there. ⚰️
