An appearance on Roots Television

I don’t know a lot about Roots Television yet, but am pleased that they chose a video from this blog to post on their facebook page on May 15th. I’ve pasted a visual on the page below. The video appears on Roots Television’s website.

 

First steps in genealogy

I went to my library and checked out two books (more on order):

• Social Networking for Genealogists
• First Steps in Genealogy

Before I can interview anyone or do any further research, I need to learn a little bit about the topic.

Am wondering how I will ever be able to fill out one of these – and this one only exhibits the first steps:

I was still worried about taking on such an extensive project, so I went to my favorite video site to see if there were any YouTube videos about genealogy. I stumbled upon a YouTube video about the new US series Who Do You Think You Are? (Canada has had its own version since 2006)

This looks like a fun series to watch and learn from – it starts in on March 5th. In the interim, I may just go check out episodes from the Canadian series Who Do You Think You Are?
