November is Family Health History Month. Join us for a discussion of A.J. Jacobs’s It’s All Relative.

A.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: “You don’t know me, but I’m your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database.” That’s enough family members to fill Madison Square Garden four times over. Who are these people, A.J. wondered, and how do I find them? So began Jacobs’s three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in history.

Sign-up required. Courtesy of NNLM a free copy of the book and a bag of resources will  be provided as long as supplies last. Please call the library or see the Circulation Desk for details.
