It will be held online via Zoom and will feature a presentation provided by CMS Research and Genealogy as well as the opportunity for discussion. The presentation will aim to provide a deeper appreciation of the intricate connections between the past and present, as well as a greater understanding of the ways in which folklore shapes people's perceptions of death and the afterlife.
