Wondering about your heritage?

Helpful volunteers are ready to assist you in discovering
your ancestors and their story. All services are free.


How would you like to get started?
(Suzy Hazelwood/Pexels)
“In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep,

to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we have
come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow
yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still
a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.”

Alex Haley, author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family

Research shows that...

Children who know a lot about their families:

  • Do better than other children when facing challenges.
  • Are more resilient, and have higher self-esteem.
  • Have a stronger sense of control over their lives.
  • Believe that their family functions successfully.
  • Feel that they belong to something larger than themselves.

“The Stories That Bind Us”, Bruce Feiler, New York Times, 3/15/2013
