patriot week 2024
Genealogy Cafés
During the Patriot Week 2024 Genealogy Cafés, volunteers from the Grays Harbor Genealogy Society, Ocean Shores-North Beach Genealogy Society, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Sons of the American Revolution will work one-on-one, by appointment, with you to gather information and supportive documentation about your ancestors and begin building your family tree.
The adventure starts with a one one-hour session building the path towards your Revolutionary War Patriot Ancestor. Tracing your family generation by generation will reveal details about your ancestors, where they settled, and interesting information about their lives. You will leave with the tools to continue researching your heritage. As you follow that path you will grow in your understanding of your family’s part in the growth of this great nation.
