At the Southern California Genealogical Society’s 2008 Jamboree we asked a new member of the Society, Matthew Poe, to do some interviewing (and represent a whole new generation of genies!). Matthew did a great job interviewing JoAnne Rockower, Director of Community Outreach for Geni.com.
We’ve also included a segment from African American Lives 2 that ran earlier this year on PBS. It features Skip Gates (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.) and Kathleen Henderson, who was the winner of a nationwide contest that was held for a non-celebrity to participate in the show. RootsTelevision.com’s own Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak did the sleuthing that led to an unexpected discovery for both Skip and Kathleen!
This week, we’re also featuring a video on Hungarian Family History Centers. Og admits that this isn’t the finest footage he’s seen, but still it’s interesting -- who knew there were so many Family History Centers in Hungary??
Lastly, Denise Olson of the Family Matters blog, provided this video tutorial that demonstrates Firefox search tools. Family researchers can take advantage of these tools to make their search efforts easier. And don’t miss the bonus Firefox Search Tools Fact Sheet [PDF 1.2MB] that provides step-by-step instructions for the tasks covered in the tutorial!
