SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR NARA

The Records Preservation and Access Coalition (RPAC) is hosting its second Family History Hill Day in Washington, D.C., on April 9, 2025. This special event invites RPAC advocates and the genealogy community to meet with Members of Congress and their staff. The focus for 2025 is to secure funding for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Supporting NARA is crucial for preserving and accessing genealogical records, and your participation can make a significant impact. Find out more about Family History Hill Day here:  https://www.recordsadvocate.org/come-to-dc-register-for-family-history-hill-day-on-9-april-2025/

NEW AND IMPROVED

First the “NEW” – MyHeritage recently released the new  Cousin Finder™ program, which identifies other MyHeritage members with whom you share common ancestors — your cousins — based on family tree data. These results are based on trees, and not on DNA, and will give you a list which includes how you’re related, with closer relatives listed first.  You’ll find it under the “Discoveries” tab.  Full details here: https://blog.myheritage.com/2025/03/introducing-cousin-finder-gain-dna-level-insights-without-a-dna-test/

Next, the “IMPROVED” – Did  you notice that the MyHeritage mobile app has recently been revamped? The new design makes navigating your family tree on mobile much easier.  I appreciate that it’s now a lot more like the website experience! More about the app improvements on their blog: https://blog.myheritage.com/2025/03/new-improved-family-tree-on-the-myheritage-mobile-app

NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Deadline extended:   Societies, libraries, archives, museums, and institutions in the genealogy and family history community are invited to submit short videos highlighting great projects or programs that might inspire others to create similar initiatives. NGS will accept SLAM! Idea Showcase entries until Friday, March 28, 2025. Winners get up to $250 and recognition at the NGS Family History Conference! Get details and criteria at https://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/slam-idea-showcase.

“Like Summer Camp for Genealogists”: The Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) still has a few spaces available in both the virtual (22-27 June)  and in-person (13-18 July) sessions. These programs offer week-long, focused, in-depth education on the topic of your choice — and there’s quite a variety offered, with several new courses added this year. I attended my first GRIP last year (virtual) and absolutely loved devoting a week to my own genealogy education; This year I’m attending in-person (also for my first time!). Check out the courses and get registered soon! https://grip.ngsgenealogy.org

March is Women’s History Month: Juliana Szucs has written an excellent article titled “Celebrating Women’s History Month on the NGS blog “UpFront with NGS”. You’ll find some great ideas for finding and documenting the women in your tree. You can read the post here: https://upfront.ngsgenealogy.org/2025/02/celebrating-womens-history-month.html

Have you registered yet?! This year’s NGS Family History Conference “Tales & Trails” will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, May 23-26. Along with top-notch speakers and classes, there will be pre-conference workshops and tours, and a special Memorial Day event at Louisville’s historic, 296-acre Cave Hill Cemetery. The venue this year is the Galt House Hotel — accommodations, sessions, the Expo Hall and more all in the same location! (Be sure to reserve your room soon!). You can find all of the conference details and information at https://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/
