The popularity of ancestry research confirms the hunger for meaning and connection. The following questions always arise during the ancestry programs the instructor has delivered: Why didn’t we ask our parents? Why didn’t we spend more time with the immigrants? Why don’t my children feel the same way? This course builds on a decade of ancestry research and public ancestry programs the instructor has conducted and it explores these questions from the perspective of Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Boomers.
