DIGGING FOR OUR ROOTS ANCESTRY CLUB

The Digging for Our Roots Ancestry Club is a monthly genealogy group designed to help you actively build and strengthen your family tree in a supportive, community-based setting.

This is not a lecture-style class. Each session includes guided, hands-on research, simple monthly assignments, and time to share discoveries, ask questions, and get help moving past common roadblocks.

Whether you’re just getting started or already have a tree in progress, this club is structured to help you make consistent progress—one month at a time.

• Guided activities focused on building and expanding your family tree
• Monthly homework assignments to complete between meetings
• Group discussion and sharing of discoveries
• Help using tools like Ancestry, FamilySearch, census records, newspapers, and more
• Access to worksheets, templates, and research guides
• A supportive community focused on African American, Southern, and Midwest ancestry

• Anyone interested in learning more about their family history
• Beginners who want clear guidance on where to start
• Those with existing trees who want help filling gaps and confirming information
• Anyone looking for accountability and community while researching their roots

Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet if available, though it is not required.
