Rotary Club Meeting

We will hear from fellow Rotarian Linda Houser, a dedicated genealogy volunteer and retired Boeing aerospace professional. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many of her retirement plans, Linda redirected her time and energy toward a longstanding passion: family history research.

Linda’s interest in genealogy began more than 16 years ago while researching her own ancestry. During her search on Ancestry, she discovered a photograph of her grandparents’ headstone taken by a volunteer who documented burial sites for researchers. Inspired by the impact of that single act of service, Linda began photographing headstones to support others tracing their family histories.

Since then, Linda has photographed 214,835 cemetery headstones across the United States and internationally, including sites in Paris, Poland, Havana, and Italy.
