Curiosity Heals Genealogy Courses – Intergenerational Oral History
May 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Do you wish you had asked your family elders more questions before they passed?
Do you wish you had captured their stories?
Do you wonder about their resilience that made it possible for you to exist?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions, The Bridgeport History Center invites you to join Curiosity Heals, a new genealogy workshop series starting May 2026. Sessions guide participants through the healing process of researching, relating to, documenting, and honoring their ancestors.
Over four, ninety-minute weekly sessions learn how to construct a family tree along with research techniques utilizing digital archives, how to conduct an intergenerational oral history and apply their family legacy within a historical context.
Research fuels storytelling. To bring family history to life, participants will document their findings by crafting short family history narrative. In class time is provided for writing, and optional sharing.
Weekly in-person sessions on Saturdays at The Bridgeport History Center, located on the third floor of the Burroughs-Saden Library, 925 Broad Street in downtown Bridgeport.
