The turnout was amazing, and we got to show off the sample granite gravestone.

Many of the people buried at Pinehurst and San Sebastian lived in Lincolnville, which used to be a predominantly African American area of town known as Little Africa because it that was founded by formerly enslaved people.

Next to us Family Search helped people find their ancestors.
