<p>Register for free online lecture &quot;Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America&quot; sponsored by Historic Annapolis (part of their Virtual Lecture Series) and presented on Tuesday 14 April from 7-8:30 p.m. EDT.</p><p>Can’t watch live? Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event.</p><p>While we may think of Americans living in the 1700s as largely the subject of genealogy research, they were active participants in what was a foundational interest and practice in their own time. Family histories were deeply meaningful for diverse early Americans, but it was also baked into the very structures of their society through law, politics, and religion. Karin Wulf’s new book, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America examines how we can understand the role of genealogy then, and its impact now.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <br><a href="/tags/genealogy/" rel="tag">#Genealogy</a> <a href="/tags/geneadons/" rel="tag">#Geneadons</a> <a href="/tags/earlyamerica/" rel="tag">#EarlyAmerica</a> <a href="/tags/familyhistory/" rel="tag">#FamilyHistory</a> <a href="/tags/virtual/" rel="tag">#Virtual</a> <a href="/tags/free/" rel="tag">#Free</a> <a href="/tags/online/" rel="tag">#Online</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.annapolis.org/event/vls-lineage/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.annapolis.org/event/vls-lineage/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.annapolis.org/event/vls-li</span><span class="invisible">neage/</span></a></p>
