Stop by for a humorous multimedia interactive presentation entitled "Cultural Clues to Genealogy" by researcher, folklorist, and popular educator, David Kleiman. Learn how to use visual, sound, and olfactory prompts to analyze your own family, memories, artifacts, photographs, clothing, habits and traditions, from a folkloric and anthropological view point. Pick up some great tools for eliciting family tales through oral history interviews. There is no admission charge for this lecture, and guests are always welcome to our meetings. The IGG meets the second Saturday of every month with free lectures and discussions of interest to genealogists and lovers of Italian culture and history. We also offer a scholarship competition for high school seniors of Italian ethnicity.
