About this Event
Digging for Our Roots: Ancestry Club
The Digging for Our Roots Ancestry Club is a monthly genealogy group designed to help you actively build and strengthen your family tree in a supportive, community-based setting.
This is not a lecture-style class. Each session includes guided, hands-on research, simple monthly assignments, and time to share discoveries, ask questions, and get help moving past common roadblocks.
Whether you’re just getting started or already have a tree in progress, this club is structured to help you make consistent progress—one month at a time.
What to Expect
- Guided activities focused on building and expanding your family tree
- Monthly homework assignments to complete between meetings
- Group discussion and sharing of discoveries
- Help using tools like Ancestry, FamilySearch, census records, newspapers, and more
- Access to worksheets, templates, and research guides
- A supportive community focused on African American, Southern, and Midwest ancestry
Who This Is For
- Anyone interested in learning more about their family history
- Beginners who want clear guidance on where to start
- Those with existing trees who want help filling gaps and confirming information
- Anyone looking for accountability and community while researching their roots
Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet if available, though it is not required.
