Anne Arundel Community College is offering a lecture to show area residents how they can conduct their own search for ancestors.

“Searching for a Usable Past: Using Genealogy to Discover Your Own Identity” is part of the college’s Italian American Lecture Series and will be offered at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28, in the Center for Applied Learning and Technology (CALT) Room 100. It also is part of the college’s month-long celebration of culture and heritage.

The mission of the National Italian American Foundation is to serve as a resource for the Italian American community; to preserve the Italian American heritage and culture; and to promote and inspire a positive image and legacy of Italian Americans.
