Over the last few weeks, I’ve started uploading popular RootsTelevision videos, and I’ve just added one that was a favorite of many. Down Under is a series that focuses on tombstone tales. We’ve all wandered a cemetery and found ourselves curious about this or that person whose name we spotted on a grave, and this show is an effort to ferret out some of those untold or long-neglected stories behind the stones.
In this instance, The Genealogy Guys – aka George Morgan and Drew Smith — find themselves drawn to a tombstone with a cannon on it, and in the course of their sleuthing, we learn the unexpected story of Idlebrando Zacchini. Enjoy!
