Digging Deeper Into Your Roots

Discover the fascinating world of genealogy on a captivating journey back in time. Learn the techniques and resources needed to uncover your ancestry, from deciphering documents to navigating online databases.  Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your methods, Digging Deeper is a roadmap to confidently trace your lineage, understand historical contexts, and preserve your family legacy for future generations.  Connect with your past in a meaningful way!

 

Coming To America

The United States is a nation shaped by generations of immigrants, each with a unique journey to a new life.  To trace our ancestors beyond U.S. borders, we must first uncover those who made the courageous decision to immigrate.

In this session, we’ll explore immigration records — where to find them, how to interpret them, and what they reveal about our family histories.  Whether your ancestors arrived through Ellis Island or another port of entry, these records hold essential clues to their origins and experiences.
