En attendant George Sand introduces genealogy by inviting participants to investigate the writer’s origins and descendants. Hosted at the Équinoxe media library in Châteauroux, the workshop turns a famous literary figure into a family-history case that can be followed through names, relationships and documentary traces. Participants learn how genealogical questions are formed and how a lineage can be reconstructed without losing sight of the people behind the records. The approach complements the libraries’ wider exploration of Sand by concentrating on kinship across generations, names and documented relationships. It also gives local history a practical dimension, linking Châteauroux’s collections with a figure deeply embedded in Berry memory. As part of the heritage programme, the session offers a methodical but approachable encounter with archives, ancestry and the construction of a biographical narrative.
