MGS and Maryland Public Television invite you to a beginner-to-intermediate genealogy workshop series. Finding Your Roots: Military Ancestors consists of four (4) two-hour sessions that are designed designed to help you learn how to research the military service of your ancestors in several pivotal American wars.

- Researching a War of 1812 Soldier Tuesday, February 3, 7-9pm ET
- Researching a Civil War Soldier Tuesday, February 17, 7-9pm ET
- Researching a World War I Soldier Tuesday, March 3, 7-9pm ET
