Family Roots: A Genealogy Workshop for All Ages
In partnership with the Indiana African American Genealogy Group, Ortho is hosting this workshop: What stories live in your family? Who were the people who came before you—and what can their lives teach us today? This engaging, hands-on workshop brings families together to explore the art and science of genealogy, where curiosity meets connection.
Together, you’ll learn how genealogists think—using real documents like old census records, photos, and letters to piece together the past. You’ll discover the difference between family lore and historical evidence, and practice asking the kinds of open-ended questions that spark meaningful conversations with elders, ancestors, and each other.
Whether you’re tracing roots across oceans or building a story from scratch, this 2-hour session offers a welcoming, inclusive way for grandparents, parents, teens, and kids to explore identity, history, and belonging—side by side.
Participants are encouraged to bring a family member from a different generation.
