@athinar203@DanielGenealogy @genzgenealogy We also hold events annually. Check out our website to find the recording and stay tuned for something in the near future 🤫 !! Genealogy is a field surrounded by a lot of stigma and getting youth involved is essential to breaking that pattern. Glad to see others are interested!
