• Where: Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street,
  Philadelphia, Pa.
• Why: As part of an annual global event called PARK(ing) Day in hundreds of cities on 10 continents, metered parking spaces become mini parks as businesses and organizations reimagine these spaces for creating, socializing, and educating.
• How: Visitors can bring their questions and even family documents to experts who will help them on their family history journey.
• Genealogy QuickStart TV was created in 2017 at PhillyCAM, Philadelphia's Public Access station, to provide the public with easy steps to tell their families' stories. That is why these groups and institutions are partnering to heighten awareness of the multitude of free resources available to find enslaved, immigrant, military, religious, and other types of ancestors whose stories are often muted or left untold.
