New Roots Television Videos

One of my favorite sites is Roots Television at http://www.rootstelevision.com/.

They keep adding interesting genealogy videos. Some of the best "new" ones from my perspective include:

* "Family Tree" Music video -- this is a great song with wonderful videos.

* "The Socks to America" video -- this is funny -- a Ken Burns-like short program about a special family.

* "Cemetery Records" lecture by Kory Meyerink -- an hour long presentation from the 2007 BYU Computerized Family History and Genealogy Conference.

* "SCGS Genealogy Library Tour" -- an 8 minute tour of the Southern California Genealogical Society library in Burbank CA.

* "One-Step Genealogy and Stephen Morse Interview" -- an 11 minute interview with the guy who makes searching genealogy records on the Internet much easier!

Do you all know that RootsTelevision has a number of blogs? Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to put them into my Bloglines account for some reason, so I access them only occasionally. Besides that, they all changed their URL's in the recent past (my thanks to Ron Chard for informing me about this). The RootsTV based blogs are:

* Megan Smolenyak's "Megan's RootsWorld"

* Rick Crume's "The Internet Guy"

* Og's (who??) "Og Blog" (this guy (?) seems to make all the conferences - has anyone met him yet?)

* Tina Boice and Tracey Long's "Climbing Family Trees"

* RAOGK Volunteers at "Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness"

Incidentally, you CAN subscribe to each of these blogs via email, which is what I've done so that I don't miss any announcements about new videos or even Og's excursions into the 21st century world of genealogy research.

Just a reminder that RootsTelevision is FREE still -- all of those videos (probably hundreds) with lots of useful and sometimes funny information can be viewed on your home computer or through a wireless hookup at a local library, hotel, coffeehouse or airport. My CVGS research group would view these regularly if we could get a reliable wireless signal in the conference room at the library. We're working on it...
