Green Gate Grove

Genealogy Class

The Genealogy Club meets every Wednesday at 3 PM in the Lounge.

Let's consider exactly What Is Genealogy and why you might be interested in it? Genealogy is the study of a family's ancestry. It comes from the Greek word "generation" and it can be a great way to connect to your family, history and genetic records all the way back to the beginnings of record keeping.

Starting a genealogy project begins by speaking with your family members. It's often the best way to learn about your family history and can give you a direction to go once their information stops. From there, you can dig into municipal documents like birth, death and wedding certificates. You can also look into census information and property information. Genealogy is a combination of detective work and careful record keeping.

Genealogy is a great way to connect to the world around you. It provides a sense of history and connection. Interested in learning more about your family tree? Start with your living relatives, give them a call and learn where you come from.
