Curious about your roots? Wondering where your story begins? The Upper Cumberland Family History and Genealogy Festival is your chance to find out. Held Saturday, July 26, in the historic town of Granville, Tennessee, this one-day event brings together expert researchers, regional archives, and family history enthusiasts for a day of discovery, learning, and connection.
Whether you’re new to genealogy or a seasoned researcher, the festival offers something for everyone:
Expert-led presentations on uncovering and preserving family stories
Rare access to family albums, cemetery maps, and regional resources from across Upper Cumberland counties
Opportunities to connect with distant relatives, share your own history, and get advice from groups like FamilySearch
Interactive exhibits at the Granville Museum and throughout the town’s Pioneer Village and historic sites
Special presentations: “Research for Beginners & the More Experienced” presented by Anna Stephenson; “How to Preserve Family History Without Genealogy Research” presented by Janice Fleenor-Smith; and “Exploring the Legacy of Bob Lee Dudney” by Mark Dudney and Davis Reeves.
“Genealogy isn’t just about dates—it’s about people, places, and the threads that tie them together,” says one festival organizer. “And sometimes, it only takes one conversation to unlock a whole branch of your family tree.”
Bring a copy of your family story to donate, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow history lovers, and maybe even walk away with a long-lost cousin’s phone number—or the missing piece to your puzzle.

To start, all you have to do is tap to jump, stay on Geometry Dash beat, and dodge the spikes. But quickly, what starts out as a simple rhythm game turns into an exciting dance of time and precision.
This sounds like such an enriching event, Nancy! 🌿 The Genealogy Festival in Granville beautifully captures the essence of connection — linking people not just to their ancestors but also to the living history of their community. It’s amazing how one conversation, record, or photo can open up generations of stories waiting to be told.
Events like this remind us that learning never stops — whether it’s uncovering family roots or diving into new subjects. Similarly, students looking for homework help Canada can take inspiration from this kind of curiosity and discovery. Just as genealogy connects you to your past, academic exploration connects you to future opportunities.
