SUMMARY:Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy is everywhere – online\, on screens\, and through 
 organizations and conferences and more.  But technologies aside\, genealogy 
 was everywhere in the 18th century\, too.  And while we may think of 18th 
 century Americans 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.  From deep research across 18th 
 century British America\, 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.\n\nKarin Wulf is the Director 
 and Librarian of the John Carter Brown Library\, and Professor of History 
 at Brown University. A historian of early America focused on gender\, 
 family\, and politics\, she writes widely for both public and academic 
 audiences about history\, the worlds of research and scholarship\, and 
 libraries and archives. She serves on a variety of non-profit boards\, is 
 involved in planning for the semiquincentennial in July 2026\, and is a 
 Vice-President of the American Historical Association.\n\nThis public 
 program is made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act 
 funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, which enable the 
 New York State Library to champion lifelong learning.
