Genealogy is a team effort, and each family tree is incredibly unique. This conversation will center on how important it is to speak with older generations, and work with younger generations, to record and preserve family history.
Join us online to learn more about Finding Your Roots, Season Nine, and explore how technology is changing how we research and share family history. The event will include information and tips on how people can digitize files, responsibly share them for discovery by distant family members, and safeguard them for future generations.
Panelists:
Taneya Y. Koonce | Executive Board Member, Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society
Kimberly N. Morgan | Lead Genealogist, Finding Your Roots
