This workshop offers essential guidance to help you start—and progress—in exploring your family roots. You’ll gain an understanding of historical context, learn how records are typically organized, discover key resources, and develop personalized strategies to build a solid foundation for genealogy research.

Participants will also explore free online tools and information to kickstart the journey of uncovering their ancestry and creating a family tree. Be sure to bring your laptops!

The session will be led by Laurie L. Kearney, a local educator, genealogist, and historian, along with Yumi Jones, a Historical Society board member. This free presentation is open to the public.
