The Birmingham Genealogical Society meets the fourth Saturday of each month (ex. Nov. & Dec.). Guests are always welcome!
Next meeting: Saturday, July 24th at 2 p.m.
Location: Historic Oak Hill Cemetery
Speaker: Billy Wilborn
Program Topic: Demonstration of Grave Dowsing
Mr. Wilborn will demonstrate the art of grave dowsing. Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites, and many other objects and materials, as well as so-called currents of earth radiation, without the use of scientific apparatus.
Please wear comfortable shoes. We will meet at the chapel. Mr. Wilborn will be selling dowsing rods for $5.00 at the meeting if anyone is interested in purchasing one.
Glad to find your blog. I’m re-immersing into genealogy after a long break. I plan on making the July 24th meeting, bringing my two budding genealogists along, my kids 16 and 12 who both help with research and even help write blog posts. I think they will enjoy learning about dousing.
