Tuesday, October 20, 2026 from 2-3:30pm in the Kingsley Room, join us for a talk about researching ancestry.
Join us as Tom Curtis who will presents a journey through the life-transforming power of genealogical research to lead us to a greater appreciation of how our ancestors’ love for one another, quest for life-improving knowledge, and collaborative spirit are the historical events we should most seek to emulate in our lives today.
Based on his research into his family history, Curtis will present fascinating learnings from the Salem and Connecticut Witch Trials; Mayflower Pilgrims; Royal-pedigreed New England pioneers; a President of Harvard; founders of Yale; and Charles Curtis, the only Vice President of the United States with Indian ancestry.
Tom Curtis is a Connecticut native who recently returned home. He is Director-at-Large of The Curtis/s Family Society, a Research Genealogist of the Southington Genealogical Society, and an active member of the Old Bethlehem Historical Society. He lives in Bethlehem.
