Genealogy is the study of family lineage. Understanding who you are and where your people came from can be transformative, because it enhances resiliency and strengthens identity. When you know who you are, you show up differently in the world. You navigate life with greater confidence. Studies have shown that people who know their family history are more successful overall–in any field. This one-hour virtual workshop introduces genealogy basics to participants and explores the connection between genealogy and archaeology. Participants will examine case studies where each discipline informed the other. Understanding the tools available for genealogical research is useful for archaeologists and those interested in delving into their own family histories.
