Family history is a fascinating and personal way for everyone to better understand who they are and how our past has shaped us. Genealogy also helps to reveal and strengthen connections between individuals and communities. But how do you get started?
Join the NYG&B and guest speaker Kathryn Lake Hogan for a look at the key essentials for beginning your genealogy journey; resources and tips specific to conducting Canadian family history research; and how you can preserve your own New York family stories.
