Family history’s popularity is evident in today’s world of television. Popular series such as Finding Your RootsWho Do You Think You Are?, and Genealogy Roadshow deliver genealogical experiences in each episode. Yet, long before these (and other) series found their ways to our televisions, family history had already found its place in popular culture. From James Bond to Donald Duck, join NYG&B President D. Joshua Taylor as he explores the presence of family history in television, music, and film over the past 90 years. 

A limited number of tickets will be available to view this talk at the NYG&B office, 36 West 44th Street, and it will also be livestreamed on Zoom. Please be advised that in-person attendees will be asked to show proof of vaccination per New York City law.
