Take your genealogy research further with this intermediate workshop on charting, DNA, and practical next steps.
If you’ve started researching your family history and aren’t sure how to move beyond a family tree, or are curious about what comes next, this workshop is for you!
This in-person, intermediate workshop offered by the DC History Center and DC Public Library works well as a follow up to Genealogy 101 or if you’re comfortable with the basics of family research. Every family history is different, with its own questions and challenges. Through short presentations paired with small group discussions, this session is designed to meet you where you are. Experienced genealogists will be on hand to help you think through problems, share strategies, and identify your next steps. You’ll leave with practical approaches and a deeper understanding of how to continue your family history research.

The DC History Center introduces its Neighborhood History Project Series which aims to study and document the history of often overlooked DC neighborhoods. Our current focus is on Woodridge (Ward 5) and Hillcrest (Ward 7). This series includes archival research, supported by community engagement and dialogue to not only research this history, but encourage connection and programming for current residents.
