You can read more about it, along with new FamilySearch , Ancestry , MyHeritage , and more updates at: RootsTech 2024: World’s Largest Family History Event Wrap-up In honor of Black History Month, last month, I thought I’d check out my African American genealogy connections in the BYU Relative Finder , and I was honored to learn that I have 47 connections thus far, if the connections are correct. 😉 Come see my connections at: Celebrating My African American Genealogy Connections with the BYU Relative Finder As I have mentioned, I have been working on my memoirs for a while now, to pass down to my kids one day, and in doing so, I have had floods of nostalgic memories pop up! So, I have been including some of these in recent blogs, in which you can find the latest here: Nostalgic Memories #3: Memorable 1970s TV Commercials I'd love to know how many of these you remember! Memories such as these may not seem like a big deal, but your memories, no matter how small, are part of YOUR family history. As we work on the genealogy of our ancestors, we shouldn't neglect our own. Remember, we will be ancestors ourselves one day; leave enough for your future descendants to really know you! Are you including these kinds of details in your family history? As many already now, or have figured out, Ancestry has a new AncestryDNA Paywall , which are making many quite unhappy.
