Brad Jenks is one wild teen. How many of you will spend four days over this Memorial Day Weekend camped out in a cemetery? Check out our latest Wild Roots submission to learn how one teenager did just that, and helped preserve and index an abandoned cemetery in Bingham Utah.

Not only is Brad crazy for cemetery records, he is also the look up volunteer for Bingham City Cemetery, serves on the FGS Youth Committee, and was the youngest speaker at the 2006 FGS Conference in Boston. Og has to agree with Brad - pretty wild for a teenager!

Don't worry - you still have two more weeks to submit your own Wild Roots video to our contest.

Eric Basir of Photo Grafix just submitted this fantastic Photoshop Tutorial through our RootsTube channel. If you're like Og, some of your most precious family photos are a little worse for wear. Eric shows us how to use the grid function in Photoshop to make cleaning up those damaged photos a little easier. He also writes a photo restoration column for several genealogical organizations, and if you can't find the answer to your question on his site, you can even ask the Retoucher. Thanks to Eric and Photo Grafix for sharing this great resource with us!

If any of you have a little genealogical light you'd like to share, send us your video.
