Video Interviews from RootsTech

This year I felt extremely lucky to be involved with the ambassador program for RootsTech this year.  As part of that program I was able to be a part of several "sofa chat" interviews (see my post about Paula Williams Madson) as well as do one-on-one interviews with people of our choosing.

Jennifer Alford, the publisher of the In-Depth Genealogist, joined me for the interviews and you can watch them all on the IDG YouTube channel.  Hope you will check them out!

NARA has You Tube videos

Did you know this?  I knew there were videos online but I didn't know that there was a full You Tube channel on how to use the archives.  Check out this press release from July 30th.

According to their website:

"The National Archives holds the permanently valuable records of the Federal Government. These include records of interest to genealogists, such as pension files, ship passenger lists, census and Freedmen’s Bureau materials. The “Know Your Records Program” offers opportunities for staff, volunteers, and researchers to learn about these records through lectures, ongoing genealogy programs, workshops, symposia, the annual genealogy fair, an online genealogy tutorial, reference reports for genealogical research, and editions of Researcher News for Washington, DC, area researchers."

So go and check them out!
