Have you always yearned to learn the answers to questions such as
From what country did my ancestors come from?
How long have we been in America?
Are there any veterans in my family?
When did the family farm or business begin or end?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions....you should join The Brown Girls Project for an afternoon of fun and findings. This class will present tips and strategies for beginning the process of constructing your family tree. In addition to describing the various records and sources available for finding information, we will help you to understand some basic genealogy terms and tools.
