On Friday, June 20, from 6:30 to 9:00 PM EST, in honor of Juneteenth and in continuation of our historic preservation and heritage series, “Preserving the Legacy: Stories, Sites, & Heritage: A Historic Preservation Series,” join us for "Juneteenth - Rooted & Grounded: The Basics - A Micro-Workshop & Genealogy Lab." This beginner-friendly session, led by the Shelton Heritage Society team, will guide participants through foundational tools for family history research. Topics include mindset and preparation, using census and death records, strategies for researching African American families before and after slavery, an introduction to DNA, tips for building a research network, and ways to preserve your family’s legacy. The evening will close with a live Q&A and work session where attendees can ask questions and receive guidance as they begin or continue their research.
