Digging Deeper Into Your Roots

Discover the fascinating world of genealogy on a captivating journey back in time. Learn the techniques and resources needed to uncover your ancestry, from deciphering documents to navigating online databases.  Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your methods, Digging Deeper is a roadmap to confidently trace your lineage, understand historical contexts, and preserve your family legacy for future generations.  Connect with your past in a meaningful way!

 

Genealogy on the Go!

Genealogy research used to require travel, microfilm readers, and hours spent in libraries — today, much of it can be done online.  But sometimes, the best discoveries still happen "in the field."

In this session, we’ll explore how smartphones, tablets, and mobile apps are transforming the way genealogists research on the go.  Learn which mobile tools can help you gather information, document your findings, and even connect with distant relatives — wherever you are.  Join us to discover how to streamline your genealogy journey with the power of mobile technology.
