Genealogy Fair in Ponta Grossa

Bonnie and I posed for our portraits at the Genealogy Fair hosted by the Stakes of Ponta Grossa on Brazilian Memorial Day.

Dia dos Mortos em Ponta Grossa

Bonnie, Dallin and I checked out the city cemetery on the Day of the Dead, like our Memorial Day, here in Ponta Grossa. Very interesting to see the traditions here. Family is very important. On this day, the Ponta Grossa Stakes put on a Genealogy Symposium, the first of its kind here in Parana.
