#RootTech2025 recap! See you next year!

The best part of #RootsTech2025 is meeting up with genealogy friends.

Hey, #Genealogy community, assuming I am competent enough to have done this right. (😅) with #RootsTech2025 not too long away, any post relating to RootsTech [which will pick up various hashtags], that'll be the one-stop feed to pin to keep up with it all! bsky.app/profile/dani... Please RT!

I am giving three presentations at #RootsTech (2 in person and one online). You can learn more about my talks at www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech...

A Roman villa indicating a "luxury lifestyle" has been discovered by archaeologists and 60 volunteers after metal detectorists reported a number of finds in the area.

Happy Saturday! May this be the day when you finally solve that #genealogy mystery that's been bugging you for years.

A brand new #Blog exploring how easy it is to accept an online hint at face value and the pitfalls of what happens if you do. Does your tree have solid roots? Have you built a tree that stands the test of time? #Genealogy #FamilyTree chiddicksfamilytree.com/2025/01/17/h...
