Spread The Guide

We at The Family History Guide Association are looking forward to RootsTech 2019!

It’s a New Year – Let’s Start This Week to Record Our Personal Histories!

It is nearly 2019 and I would guess that for most of us, it is a hard fact to comprehend.

We have had a yearning deep within us to go and see the places where our ancestors lived.  We have had marvelous experiences both in and out of The United States. The trips...
