Genealogy is one of the most valuable pursuits you can participate in—learning about who you are, where you come from, and “meeting” the thousands of people who came before you, can be a rewarding and even life-changing experience. But, how do you get started? Let the New England Historic Genealogical Society guide you through the first steps of family history exploration and gain valuable tips on how to collect, record, and share your data.

The Senior Learning Network (SLN) provides distant learning opportunities for older adults through the use of interactive video conference technology.

We ask that you please sign up (as easy as calling us to say you will be in attendance) so that in case of any time changes we may update you! You may call us at 860-441-6785
