Iowa PBS and the Iowa Genealogical Society are teaming up to offer a four-part virtual workshop. During each two-hour session, participants will learn how to search public records to learn about their ancestry.

Each session begins with a presentation on topics like vital records and state censuses. After each class, each guest receives a recording of the lecture and a homework assignment to help map out their own family tree. Register for the workshop online.
