Secrets of the Ancestors: Getting Started in Genealogy

Ever want to get started on a family genealogy, but just get too overwhelmed on where to go and how to get started? Come and learn from first hand experiences and get inspired to finally get your family history preserved for future generations!

Join David Chisolm and Tiara Luten as they share their ancestors’ journey to freedom, how they uncovered their stories, and how they are working to preserve the legacy of their ancestors that were enslaved here at Wormsloe. Mary Socci, Director of UGA’s Center for Research and Education, will join the discussion and highlight a few tools and techniques that can aid families trying to navigate the challenges of uncovering information into past enslaved family members.

This event is included with standard admission ($3.25 – $12)
