Family history is a fascinating and personal way for everyone to better understand who they are and how our past has shaped us. Genealogy also helps to reveal and strengthen connections between individuals and communities. But how do you get started?
Join the NYG&B and guest speaker Walter Sánchez for a look at the key essentials for beginning your genealogy journey; resources and tips specific to conducting Guatemalan family history research; and how you can preserve your own New York family stories.
The in-person and online broadcasts of the program will be in English; English and Spanish videos will be available on the NYG&B website after the event. La versión en español de este programa estará disponible en nuestro sitio web.
Participants can join us in person at the NYG&B New York City office or virtually. This is a free program, but registration is required.
