International Workshop "Expedition Origin: Genealogical Research and Family Narrative"
June 6th and 13th, 2026
Do you feel like your family history is fading away or that there are mysteries left unsolved?
At Origin Expedition, we have designed a theoretical-practical workshop to turn your curiosity into action. You don’t need to be an expert to start; all you need is the desire to discover those who came before you.
Throughout these two sessions, you will learn how to organize family information, detect gaps or inconsistencies, and use digital archives to trace your ancestors' footsteps. By the end of the workshop, you will take home the design of your own family tree and a script to tell your own story.
