Here in New York City, we are blessed to be surrounded by many vibrant cultures, but have you ever wondered about your own heritage?

In this class, we will learn the basics of genealogy using free digital resources, discuss ways to bring your family's history to life, and explore the resources available to you in New York City as you continue on your genealogy journey! Whether you don't know your parents or come from a family of genealogists, I hope you'll be able to use this class as a springboard in discovering your personal history through rigorous and accurate genealogical methods.
