In 2008, Dennis Richmond Jr watched “Roots” with his father, and it changed his life. It was a Sunday, the Richmonds’ day for leafing through family photographs in their apartment in Yonkers, New York, looking at relatives going back about a century. “Roots,” Alex Haley’s semifictional account of his family’s journey from West Africa, posed a challenge: How far back could Richmond trace his own ancestors?

After watching the miniseries’ first DVD, he ran upstairs to ask his mother about the names of her relatives. That evening, Richmond, then a studious 13-year-old, turned on the family computer and found a 1930 US Census entry for his maternal great-grandmother.
