STARTING A FAMILY TREE?

STARTING A FAMILY TREE?

Genealogy Documentary!  The movie entitled  "Family Tree" will be shown Saturday  November 1, 2014 from 1-3 PM at the Chamber of Commerce at 34 East 4th street, Emporium, PA, sponsored by the Cameron County Historical Society

If you have ever wondered about genealogy and your roots this is the movie you need to see.

Benjamin Bratt narrates a feature-length done by the History Channel that combines the history and mystery of names with a genealogical search. Traveling from ancient China to medieval Europe, from Africa to the Wild West, in which they search through slavery, the Indian Wars, and the great wave of U.S. immigration. As actor William Baldwin and "Braveheart" screenwriter Randall Wallace trace their family trees, we learn the genealogist's tools and look to the future.

Can we move beyond written records to prehistoric times?

From the dawn of time to the epic sweep of the twentieth century, from the conflicts to the inventions that changed the world.  "Family Trees" captures the glory, tragedy, and drama of the human experience. 

"Family Tree" guides you through steps taken to look at the family history of different individuals. It also gives you information on how to go about getting information about your own family history.

Local genealogists from the Historical Society will be on hand to take questions on family searches immediately following the movie.  

Grab a grandparent, another family member or a friend and learn how to start your tree at the Chamber of Commerce in Emporium we are looking forward to seeing you Saturday November 1, 2014 1-3 PM
