52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2023: Week 42 (FRIENDS)
Roots Tech 2024 is February 29th to March 2nd.
With my work schedule I will be able to attend the entire online conference. This is the first time that will happen since RootsTech began virtual offerings.
What exactly does this have to do with FRIENDS?
RELATIVES AT ROOTS TECH is a feature that allows you to see folks who match you on the Family Search tree.
Since it's part of the conference this feature is only available until the end of March. For this reason someone started a Facebook Page that connects to a Relative Finder's Page.
During the conference I make sure all of my social media & genealogy profile photos are the same to ensure matches can find me.
I discovered there are 3,180 in the Facebook group, and I match 743 of them in the 8th to 15th cousin range.
None of these are to my husband's side of the Bramble Bush. He would need to register himself.
When I look at the names of the 3180 members on Facebook I discover that I don't recognize any of them. 4 have friends in common with me, but we don't know each other.
I look forward to Roots Tech 2024 to see if I can clean up some of the issues in my area of the shared tree at Family Search.
You can find the link to sign up (virtual or in person) for the conference in sources below.
Finding new friends via genealogy connections!!!
This is why I search -

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
