Family History Project

Our Family History Project is a free program designed to connect you to your cultural heritage. Each semester, a team of genealogists from the New England Historical Genealogical Society leads a group of 25 students through four weekly training sessions, assisting you in uncovering census records, birth certificates, immigration forms, and other documents vital to tracing your roots. Check out the videos below the application for more information.

This Spring, the Family History Project will take place on Monday evenings starting in late March and ending at the end of April. If you’re interested, please fill out the application below. We will get back to you before Spring Break.
