Help Me Find My People

Genealogy is a continuous journey. It is a collection of stories woven across generations, a tapestry intertwined with experiences, history, and shared identity. The more you learn about your ancestors, the more you learn about yourself. This session provides an overview of how to conduct genealogical research, including helpful charts and forms, free internet research sites, and other helpful tips to continue your family history journey.
