Genealogy Workshop

About this event

The City of Tulsa and the Greenwood Cultural Center will host a Community Engagement Genealogy Workshop November 7-8, 2025, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. If you are interested in participating, please register online at www.greenwoodculturalcenter.org/genealogy-workshop. Due to the private nature of genetic genealogy, each workshop is limited to registered participants only. During the workshop, will have access to experienced genealogists who will guide you through the fundamentals of genealogical research, including: • Tools and resources for effective family tree research, including free access to Ancestry Institution courtesy of Ancestry.com • Guidance on when and how to expand your family tree • Access to research materials and resources for continued learning These workshops are part of the City's goal to increase public awareness and empower community members, especially those in Greenwood and North Tulsa - and 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre descendants - to explore their own genealogies, connecting them with resources and experts to uncover family histories. The work is made possible by a $1 million Emmett Till Cold Case Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, focusing on forensic genetic genealogy to identify potential victims.
