GENEALOGY INSCRIBED IN STONE
Today. DNA sampling and Internet access to information have made it easier for many to trace their ancestry back many generations. In the past, information gleaned front headstones in Jewish cemeteries helped genealogists make the same determinations. Not only do their Hebrew inscriptions contain the date of death and. sometimes, the deceased's age or date of birth, but they also are likely to include the name of the deceased's father. This information enables interested parties, to trace family origins back a generation. When several family headstones rest side by side, observers can literally trace back generations by following and comparing the inscribed information on consecutive headstones and. making calculations based on the Jewish calendar. Should you desire a traditional headstone, we can honor your request. No matter your religious or ethnic background, at MOSER FUNERAL HOME we are here to serve you.
