In celebration of Italian American Heritage Month, the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles (IAMLA) and Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA) present: My Roots, My Heritage, a free and interactive genealogy webinar designed to help you discover your family’s origins and unique story.

Whether you are curious about your family’s early years, wish to learn about your ancestors, locate familial villages, or compile the information needed to pursue dual citizenship…

We invite you to tune into this educational online presentation during which we will be discussing topics such as how to get started, the resources available, tips for genealogical research, and how to interpret historic documents.

This Italian American Heritage Month as we reflect upon the legacy of our culture, let us also recognize that history belongs to our era, and discovering and preserving it is more important than ever.

Join us for this live event, which will be broadcast on the IAMLA and ISDA Facebook pages on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. EST (4 p.m. PST).
