If you have ever been curious about your family history or found yourself stuck while researching your ancestry, the Genealogy Drop-In at Peninsula Center Library offers a welcoming place to explore and connect.

Held in the Purcell Room from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, this free session invites participants to share discoveries, ask questions, and collaborate with others who are also researching their family roots. Whether you are just beginning to build your family tree or have been researching for years, the drop-in format creates space for learning at every level.

Genealogy research often comes with “brick walls,” those moments when records feel impossible to find or connections are unclear. This gathering provides an opportunity to brainstorm solutions, exchange research strategies, and gain fresh ideas from others who may have faced similar challenges.

The library setting adds to the experience. Public libraries are rich with historical resources, digital databases, and knowledgeable staff who help make research accessible. Events like this highlight how libraries continue to serve as hubs for lifelong learning and community connection.

If tracing your family story has been on your list, this is a low-pressure way to take the next step. Bring your notes, your questions, or simply your curiosity.

This is why We Love South Bay Local. Programs like this create space for shared knowledge, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect with both history and neighbors right here in our community.
