Welcome! Wondering about your heritage? Many people are. Discovering your ancestors and their story is fascinating and fulfilling! It develops resilience and a wonderful sense of belonging. And most importantly, it is your story! Our helpful volunteers are pleased to assist you. How do you want to get started?
“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	Children who know a lot about their families: Do better than other children when facing challenges. Are more resilient. Have a stronger sense of control over their lives. Have higher self-esteem. 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, March 15, 2013
