On TV shows such as “Finding Your Roots” (PBS) and “Who Do You Think You Are” (NBC), the host reveals the guests’ genealogy, but they do not show how the genealogy was found. Muscatine County Genealogical Society (MCGS) is offering a six week beginner’s genealogy workshop starting April 6, 2024. This class introduces you to how you can start making your own genealogical discoveries in your own family.

If you are interested in genealogy, join us for this six week program. Each class is one hour. Classes meet at Musser Public Library, 408 East 2nd St, Muscatine, IA.

There is no charge for the workshop. Registration is required.
