In this episode Jennie and Dianne are joined by the delightful Kathleen Maca who shares the stories of the Broadway District cemeteries on the island of Galveston off the gulf coast of Texas. Kathleen is a member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, a cemetery historian, cemetery restorationist, Certified Tourism Ambassador, genealogist and just completed a two-year project for ancestry.com involving photographing approximately 250,000 vital records! Kathleen shares the Ordinary Extraordinary story of a woman whose grave is covered in Mardi Gras beads each year, how decades of hurricanes have affected the cemeteries in the island, and how at the Battle of Galveston the fighting was paused so that a father could bury his son; one was a Confederate soldier and the other fought for the Union. She also shares stories of some of the adventures that have happened while giving tours in the cemeteries and through historic and reportedly haunted sections of Galveston itself.
