Genealogy Writing Workshop: It's a Wonderful Life: How Have You Affected the Lives of Others
Monday November 9 2026 4:00PM
Southeast Regional Library
Event Description
In the 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey (played my Jimmy Stewart) is so overwhelmed by problems in his life that he wishes that he had never been born. In the next section of the film, he learns what life would have been like if he had not been born, and he comes to appreciate the positive—and even lifesaving—effect he has had on the lives of family and friends. Join Duane Roen as we write about how the lives of our family and friends would be different if each of us had not been born.
Following the workshop, participants are invited to attend a Genealogy Research workshop with Duane Roen from 5:30-6:30 to see how searches are conducted using some tools that are discussed in the presentation.
