Maricopa Family Search is inviting the community to a free genealogy event that will help you uncover the story of your ancestors and how you came to be you.

What Is Your Story Copa is Nov. 16 with a series of workshops on family research, preserving family documents and photos, DNA and more every half hour from 9 a.m. to noon.

“This event was created with the vision of making it possible for friends, neighbors and family to get to know their ancestors and those who have gone before them and the wonderful influence they have had in our lives,” said organizer Jen Layton. “We hope that as we enter this upcoming holiday season that you might be able to use these resources and education you gain at this event to connect with your family on the earth today, and to be able to share with others the stories of those that have gone before.”

Free registration is at WhatIsYourStoryCopa.com. Registration information will be used solely to communicate details about the event. After the event all collected information will be deleted, and never used for any marketing or remarketing activities by any organization or individual.

Maricopa Family Search will show you how to involve your children in your genealogy search, which can reach back centuries into your past.

“We know that everyone has a story,” Layton said, “and we can’t wait to work with you to help you find yours.”
