Family History

Session Brief

Learning about your ancestors, celebrating family traditions, embracing your culture, and understanding where you came from can open your eyes to how beautiful and unique you are. This group will appeal to fans of shows like ‘Long Lost Family’ and ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ Whether you’re an active ancestorian or have no idea where you would start, Alan can guide you in researching your own family history. This session runs monthly on a Wednesday evening.

It’s lovely... It was quite something going back... I think 'this is where I drew my first breath'... It makes me feel very humble.
