Event Details

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!

 

Conducting Family Interviews

One of the best sources of family history isn’t found in records or archives — it’s the stories and memories of our relatives.  Conducting family interviews can uncover personal insights, traditions, and details that might not exist anywhere else.

In this session, we’ll discuss how to plan and conduct effective family history interviews.  Learn what questions to ask, how to encourage meaningful storytelling, and the best ways to record and preserve these valuable conversations for future generations.  Whether you’re just starting your genealogy journey or looking to fill in missing pieces, this session will help you capture and preserve your family’s legacy.


Just in time for the Holidays!

The Friday after Thanksgiving is designated as a National Day of Listening.  Take advantage of the time you spend with your family to gather stories!
