ROOTSTECH 2022 is just around the corner. If you haven’t signed up yet, go to rootstech.org , yes it is free! Hopefully you also have a free account at familysearch.org because if you have both then you can see lots of your relatives from now to the end of Rootstech.
The above screen shot is from my iPad FamilySearch app. It shows that 1,906 relatives of mine have already signed up for Rootstech AND enabled the Find My Relatives function. The functionality won’t work unless you allow it, for security sake.
My closest relative is a 3rd cousin, only one of them. Then it skips to 5th cousins and beyond. I quit scrolling at 7C2R. So far, I haven’t found any relatives from MoCoGenSo!
Let me give you a hint…. If you are going to enable this Find my Relative function, please create a display name that is real. Like, I have a 7th cousin named “best grandma”. Give me a break, if you are afraid of someone finding you, just don’t enable the function. You can still enjoy all of Rootstech without Find My Relative.
But, if you enjoy finding cousins, do try it. It is fun. It is similar to Thrulines at Ancestry, only easier and without the DNA test.
So, if you think you are related to me, search for me at Rootstech — I am using my real name. And if you don’t know my real name, you should look around this web site a bit more! 🙂
