Share genealogy tips and resources with other family history enthusiasts. All levels are welcome.

This month, we will be discussing What They Never Told Us by Dr. Gail Lukasik. This book "tells the stories of ordinary people who made extraordinary, life-changing discoveries about their parentage and/or race and ethnicity [through DNA and genealogical research] that fractured their identities. The book asks the big questions: Who are we? And what is family?" This follows her presentation about the book on September 4. All are welcome to attend and discuss. The ebook is available on Hoopla for anyone with a library card to read.
