Finding Your Ancestors

(from The Hood Historian's website)

Join Talaya Robinson-Dancy during Black History Month for a joyful, hands-on genealogy workshop designed for Black and Brown communities.

​​Finding Your Ancestors is a two-hour workshop that guides participants in uncovering family stories and deepening ancestral connections through digital archives and oral history. Grounded in an understanding of archival racism and the systemic erasure of marginalized histories, this session empowers participants with accessible research strategies, organization tools, and interview techniques.

​​Led by Talaya’s culturally rooted and engaging teaching style, the workshop supports learners of all backgrounds, with no prior experience necessary. You'll walk away with practical knowledge, a deeper understanding of your lineage, and tools to build a meaningful family tree.

​​What You’ll Learn:

• ​​How to navigate digital and physical archives
