Are you curious about your personal or family ancestry?  

Have you done a DNA test and want to know more about your roots? 

Do you work in a field where you get genealogical questions and want to be able to better assist your customers? 

Do you just enjoy historical research? 

Even before the popularity of DNA testing, family history is something many people want to learn more about.  

However, many individuals find it is difficult to know exactly where to begin to trace their roots. 

While there is a plethora of information available at one's fingertips, getting started and then sifting through the information overload to find those nuggets of information is often frustrating. 

Fortunately, there are many available resources that can help you to avoid that frustration and begin digging up your ancestral roots.   

 At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to: 

  • Know how to get organized for genealogical research
  • Gain familiarity with basic genealogical research tools
  • Gain familiarity with basic sources of genealogical information
  • Gain familiarity with sources of genealogical information for historically disenfranchised populations
  • Understand how DNA results and genealogical research intersect
