Learn More About DNA and Genetic Genealogy at Roots Television
Last week I posted Ten Videos for Genetic Genealogists, a collection of YouTube and other videos that might be of use to people who are just starting out in the field of genetic genealogy (and hopefully many others!).
Another valuable (and ever-growing) resource for genetic genealogists (indeed, for ALL genealogists, is Roots TelevisionTM. Roots Television is an online media presentation website created by historian Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and media producer Marcy Brown. The site offers a wide variety of programming on such topics as genetic genealogy, Irish roots, and African roots, as well as recordings of presentations by some of the world’s leading genealogists (to name only a few).
Roots TelevisionTM introduces themselves with the following:
“Well, now there’s a channel for us. Roots TelevisionTM is by and for avid genealogists and family history lovers of all stripes.
