A big part of moving forward in life is knowing your past. There are many databases, organizations, and genealogy clubs out there for assistance. There’s also RootsTech. An annual event both in person and online.

This weekend you can log on for free and find a wide variety of lectures to help you unearth well-hidden records and write your family story. They also offer sessions focused on specific groups, including one about Italian genealogy, Finding Immigration Journeys to America From Italy, on Saturday. I definitely added that one to my watch list.

Building your family tree can be both exciting and frustrating… often at the same time. Events like RootsTech help all of us searching for ourselves in history.
