Popular Relatives at RootsTech 2022 Experience Delivers Fun

Discover new relatives and connections with friends

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—The popular Relatives at RootsTech global family connection experience is back, with the added ability for participants to chat with newly discovered relatives, connect with friends, and see if they are related to celebrity keynote Matthew Modine. The experiences are free and available now in advance of RootsTech 2022, the world’s largest family history event (3–5 March). Start your family discovery today!

Relatives at RootsTech 2022 enables online users to potentially discover and connect with hundreds of living relatives. It has been an extremely popular feature of the in-person RootsTech conference for several years. The Relatives and RootsTech experience went worldwide in 2021, when the RootsTech conference became a virtual event reaching hundreds of thousands of people. With the previous success of Relatives at RootsTech, FamilySearch engineers have been hard at work to make the celebration of fun family connections even better for 2022.

How Does Relatives at RootsTech 2022 Work?

The 

Relatives at RootsTech 2022 experience matches RootsTech participants worldwide by comparing the names of their ancestors found in the FamilySearch Family Tree. When a common ancestor is found, participants are shown the names of living relatives and their relationship to those people. Participants with more ancestors in Family Tree are more likely to make more connections with their cousins. With more than one billion names in the FamilySearch Family Tree, many participants are likely to find hundreds, if not thousands, of living relations.

Todd Powell, product manager for mobile apps at FamilySearch, said the user demand at the 2021 event exceeded expectations and had to be throttled back. He added that the experience will now accommodate upwards of 10 million people simultaneously.

“It is a wonderful experience for people when they find, discover, and connect with others that they’re related to, especially for those that didn’t know they had relatives. There’s this amazing connection experience when that occurs,” said Powell.

The Relatives at RootsTech 2022 experience has added the ability for participants to chat with living relatives they discover! It also has browser-based participation in addition to smart phone apps.

How Do I Participate in Relatives at RootsTech?

To join the fun, go to FamilySearch.org/Connect. If you don’t have a FamilySearch account, create one for free.

More Ways to Connect at RootsTech 2022

RootsTech 2022 features two other fun connection experiences—Keynote Connection and Surname Connections.

RootsTech Keynote Connections

How cool would it be if one of your relatives was a keynote speaker at RootsTech 2022? That’s what Keynote Connections aims to find out! If your FamilySearch Family Tree is sufficiently robust (if not, start adding names to your tree!), FamilySearch match and hinting technology will help you find out if you’re related to celebrity keynote Matthew Modine. If you are, surprise your family and friends, and see your own family journey unfold on screen as you watch Matthew Modine share his story on the RootsTech 2022 mainstage.

RootsTech Surname Connections

Do you ever wonder if your ancestors and your best friends’ ancestors might have known each other? With RootsTech Surname Connections, you can discover the meanings of each other’s surnames and where your surnames are most likely to be found together worldwide. Maybe you were always destined to be friends!

When you visit Surname Connections, all you need to do is input your last name and your friend’s last name. FamilySearch will comb through mountains of records in mere seconds to deliver to you a possible story about the connection between your families. You can discover if your families have ever lived in similar localities, if your families are connected, and perhaps if you’re related, by trying the Relatives at RootsTech experience. Either way, Surname Connections will help you find out what you’ve known all along—that you were just meant to be friends.

Relatives at RootsTech and other connection experiences are available now in advance of RootsTech 2022, which will be held on 3–5 March 2022 at RootsTech.org. Participation is free. Get connected now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE:  This is not a mobile app at this time.  I didn't find it in the App Store.  It is a web-based app.

NOTE:  I now have 5,445 Relatives at RootsTech.  Matthew Modine is my 8th cousin 1x removed, with Richard Cutter (1621-1693) the common ancestor.  We had a grand time yesterday on Facebook telling each other their relationship to us, but could not see the relationship chart.  

NOTE:  Apparently, this app will only show us the paths to the common ancestor during March 3-5.  One of the links says:  "Because of technology and privacy reasons, we can only show attendees their relatives during the conference."

Disclosure:  I am a RootsTech Connect 2022 Ambassador and have committed to providing regular publicity about the conference.  I have received free registration, snacks, meals and other benefits from FamilySearch over the 12 years of RootsTech.

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

There are no birth records for Lydia Maynard, but there are birth records for all of her siblings in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay.  James and Mary (Morse) Maynard were the only Maynard family in Westborough in the 1720s.  Lydia Maynard was born about 1722 in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay, the second child and second daughter of James and Mary (Morse) Maynard of Westborough.

Lydia married at age 20 to David Bathrick (1722-1794) on 12 May 1742 in Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay[1-2].  David was the son of John and Mary (--?--) Bathrick of Cambridge.  They had seven children, all born and recorded in Westborough town records:

*  Solomon Bathrick (1746-1824), married 1778 Thankful Howe (1750-1825).

*  Anna Batherick (1748-????), married 1772 Richard Barnes (1747-1815).

*  Jonathan Batherick (1749-1825), married 1769 Abigail Battle (1750-1786).

*  Mindwell Bathrick (1751-1789)

*  Lydia Bathrick (1752-1795), married 1779 Phinehas Brigham (1755-1802).

*  David Bathrick (1754-1794).

*  Stephen Bathrick (1757-1846), married 1788 Patty Bond (1769-1859).

David Bathrick died intestate on 4 August 1794 and his estate papers are in Worcester County Probate Records, in estate file 4414 (12 images)[3].  On 8 September 1794, Solomon Bathrick, Jonathan Bathrick and David Batherick posted £500 bond, and Solomon Bathrick was appointed administrator of the estate by the probate court judge.  An inventory of the estate was taken by Nathan Fisher, Thomas Andrews and Samuel Forbush on 24 September 1794.  There was no real estate (apparently, it had been sold or given to his children over time).  The personal inventory totaled £8-9-7.  On 7 October, Solomon Bathrick charged himself with the inventory and paid debts, costs and charges, and £5-5-7 was left.  The probate court awarded the balance  to the widow, Lydia Bathrick.

Lydia, "widow of David," died at age 79 in Westborough, Massachusetts[4-5].  There is no burial record for her.

Seavers in the News -- Ora A. Seaver Dies in 1962 in Amherst, Massachusetts

  Here is this week's edition of "Seavers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Seaver that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from The Burlington [Vt.] Free Press newspaper dated 2 July 1962:

The transcription of the article is:

"AMHERST, MASS.

"SEAVER, Ora A., 70, formerly of Stowe, Vt., died Saturday night at his home here.

"Mr. Seaver was born in Stowe, May 3, 1892, son of Arthur S. and Dolores K. Adams Seaver.  He attended Stowe schools and the Bryant and Stratton Business College in Boston.  For about 30 years he was associated with Amberg File and Index Company as a New England representative.  He retired in June of 1960.

"Mr. Seaver was a member of the first Congregational Church in Amherst, Mass.

"He leaves his wife, the former Miss Rita W. Miles whom he married at West Somerville, Mass., Nov. 20, 1915; two sons, Arthur W. Seaver of Amherst and Miles A. of Leverett, Mass., also three grandchildren.

"Services will be held at the Douglass Funeral Home in Amherst at 2 o'clock Tuesday.  Rev. Thayer A. Greene of the First Congregational Church , officiating.  Burial in the Wildwood Cemetery, Amherst."

The source citation is:

"Amherst, Mass.," The Burlington [Vt.] Free Press newspaper, Monday, 2 July 1962, page 2, column 6, Ora A. Seaver obituary; Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 17 February 2022).

This is a fairly complete obituary, with name, residence, parents names, birth date and place, education, occupation, spouse's name, children's names and locations, and associations.  However, there are minor discrepancies in the name (Ora A.) and spouse's name (Rita W.).

Ora Everett Luce Seaver (1892-1972) was born 3 May 1892 in Stowe, Vermont, the son of Arthur Stannard and Dolores K. (Adams) Seaver of Stowe.  He married Greta Weldon Miles (1892-1983) on 20 November 1915 in West Somerville, Mass.  They had two sons:

*  Arthur Weldon Seaver (1925-2008), married 1946 Lucille Mary Hamilton (1925-1990).

*  Miles Adams Seaver (1929-2006), married 1954 Margaret E. Joy (1924-2017).

Ora Everett Luce Seaver (1892-1962) is my 7th cousin 3x removed.  Our common Seaver ancestor is my 9th great-grandfather Robert Seaver (1608-1683).

There are over 10,000 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person has an obituary with complete information. I am glad that I can honor Ora Everett Luce Seaver today.  

You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.

Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1693 Birth Record for Dinah Rice in Marlborough, Mass.

 It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the birth record for Dinah Rice in Marlborough, Massachusetts Bay:

The birth record is at the top of the Rice listings on this page:  

The transcription of this record is:

"RICE, Dinah, d. Edmond and Rutth, Oct. 15, 1693."

The source citation for this marriage record is:

Franklin P. Rice (editor), Vital Records of Marlborough, Massachusetts, to the End of the Year 1849 (Boston, Mass. : Franklin P. Rice, 1908), Births, page 154, Dinah Rice entry, daughter of Edmond and Rutth, 15 October 1693.

This town record book is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence as to the names, birth date and place. 

Dinah Rice (1693-1725) was the daughter of Edmund and Ruth (Parker) Rice of Marlborough.  She married Nathan Brigham (1693-1784) on 24 December 1717 in Marlborough, and they had five children.

Nathan and Dinah (Rice) Brigham are my 6th great-grandparents, through their son Moses Brigham (1723-1769), who married Mehitable Grout (1722-1795) in 1749.

Brazilian Telenovela Star Thaís Pacholek Gets Real at RootsTech 2022

I received this today from FamilySearch:

========================================

Brazilian Telenovela Star Thaís Pacholek Gets Real at RootsTech 2022

February 16, 2022, Sao Paolo, Brazil and Salt Lake City, Utah—Thaís Pacholek isn’t a real villain, but she does (occasionally) play one on TV. That’s to be expected from an actress who has become one of Brazil’s leading telenovela (soap opera) stars. But in real life, Thaís is a refreshingly down-to-earth mother and wife, who cherishes family, children, and a “cozy” home. Delighted at the chance to represent her native Brazil to a worldwide online audience, Thaís will share her story at RootsTech 2022 (March 3–5, 2022). Registration is free and open to anyone at RootsTech.org.

Thaís first took to the stage at age 9 in her native Curitiba, in the south of Brazil. At 18 she relocated to Brazil’s film capital of Rio de Janeiro. A graduate of theater arts and journalism, Thaís’s acting talent was widely recognized a few years later when she accepted her first of many telenovela roles at age 23. In a country generally recognized as the pioneer in the genre, breaking into Brazil’s telenovela scene was a rare accomplishment.

But Thaís isn’t a 1-dimensional talent. She was voted Miss Curitiba in 2005, and has starred in 15 live theater productions, 3 movies, and 5 television shows, in addition to the 8 telenovelas in which she has played a prominent role. She credits her family for her professional success.

THE ROLE OF FAMILY IN THAÍS PACHOLEK’S SUCCESS

“My family made me feel sure that this was the path I should follow,” she said. “Without them, I would not have had the confidence to venture out in Rio de Janeiro. My family, my foundation, was there for me, they guided me, emotionally, as they still do up to this day.”

In contrast to her acting roles, Thaís says her family is a “very real family” and that all of her relationships “have always been very real.” Though her family was anything but wealthy, she describes her childhood as a beautiful journey where the things they enjoyed most were the moments they had together. “Those are very good memories I carry in my heart, the struggle of a family to succeed in life, and never quit. And when the whole family is united, the result is always prosperity,” she said.

She found similar characteristics in her husband, country music star Bruno Belucci Pereira, who performs as half of a popular musical duo under the stage name Belutti. Together, Bruno and Thaís have a son, Luis Miguel, who Thaís describes as her “soulmate.” He is also the inspiration for her passion as an advocate for respectful childhood education. She said, “I think change in the world comes through children, because they are what all of us, adults, should be.”

Thaís also cherishes her family history saying, “I believe very much that we are what we are today because of all those stories that exist in this genealogical tree of ours, to which we all belong. So, I do believe that the strong woman I am, the positive woman I am, the optimistic woman I am, the hard-working woman I am—all this is due to all those [family] stories.”

Learn more of Thaís’s story, and enjoy the rest of the free, online RootsTech Connect conference, by registering today at RootsTech.org.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure:  I am a RootsTech Connect 2021 Ambassador and have committed to providing regular publicity about the conference.  I have received free registration, snacks, meals and other benefits from FamilySearch over the 11 years of RootsTech.

Rabbit Holes With Randy - Finding Nathan Brigham Land Deeds on FamilySearch

 I wrote Rabbit Holes With Randy - Finding David Bathrick Land Deeds on FamilySearch lst week and showed how I find, capture and use land deeds to support my genealogy research and contribute to my 52 Ancestors genealogical sketches.

My work in land deeds is never done, and I am looking ahead to sketches of 5th great-grandfather Nathan Brigham (1693-1784) and his father, 6th great-grandfather Nathan Brigham (1671-1746), I went looking for and found land deeds for them in both Worcester County and Middlesex County, Massachusetts.  I am not done with this task yet, but it's what I've been doing this past week.

Here are my tables of Worcester County land record deeds for the Grantee index:

And for the Grantor index:

As you can see, I am not quite done capturing some of the Grantor deeds.  I couldn't find several deeds so I marked them NF ("not found") - I will have to go back to the index to see if I have the correct volume and page number.  One deed was in the index but was skipped in the clerk volumes (labeled "Not").  I have downloaded 30 deeds so far, with more to do.  I abstracted several of the deeds, and have transcribed three of them to date, but there are dozens more to at least abstract.  Nathan Jr. also had a son Nathan, and some of the deeds after 1760 may be for him.  

Then there are the Middlesex County deeds, since Nathan Brigham Sr. lived and died in Marlborough in Middlesex County, but his son Nathan Jr. settled in Southborough.

Aunt Gerry in 2004 in Maine -- Post 707 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

 I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs: 

This photograph is of my aunt Geraldine (Seaver) Remley (1917-2007) and me, taken in October 2004 in her home in Augusta, Maine.  She married James Remley (1912-2007) in 1970 in Newton, Massachusetts.  Gerry was a high school music teacher and married her boss as his second wife.  After retirement, they lived in Maine where Jim had several children nearby and a cabin near Lake Cobboseccontee that we visited in 1982 and several times thereafter.  They moved to a senior living center before 2004 in Augusta.  We tried to visit them during our trips to New England to sightsee and visit family (and do genealogy!).  They visited us several times in California too.

Aunt Gerry was the successor to her mother, Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver (1882-1962), as the family historian.  She made a point to be the "fun aunt" who knew every niece and nephew (all 11 of us) and our children (20 of them) and kept in touch with them.  On this trip to Maine, she let me look through her photograph albums and some of the treasures she collected over the years.  After she and Jim died in 2007, I was sent the photograph albums and some of the memorabilia, including the ambrotype Union Case of my second great-grandparents, Isaac and Lucretia (Smith) Seaver, from the 1863 time.  That was a wonderful surprise!

Featuring All New Talks

From Cradle to Grave

Jackie Depelle - Family History Tutor and Speaker

Jackie's talk shows you how to follow the life of an ancestor, using key family history sources, plus more from maps to house history.

Solving Genealogy Brickwalls: A Case Study

Amelia Bennett - Expert Researcher, Census Detective with the SOG

This talk uses an example from Amelia's own family history where she progressed a brickwall using DNA alongside traditional genealogy research. The path to solving this brickwall had a number of surprises along the way with forgeries, quick marriages, criminal ancestors and often more questions than answers. In telling the story, methods and tools for using DNA to break down brickwalls are provided.

The Joy of Surnames

Debbie Kennett - DNA, Surname Expert and Writer

Each surname has its own story to tell. This lecture provides an overview of the history and distribution of surnames with a focus on surnames originating in the British Isles. The one-name study approach can provide breakthroughs that would not be possible by restricting research to your own family tree.

Family history and the media: behind the scenes of Who Do You Think You Are?

Nick Barratt - Historian, Author and Professional Genealogist

Exploring the impact of Who Do You Think You Are? on the way we research our family stories, with an explanation of how the show was first conceived and produced.

Ask the Experts Live Q&A Panel

with Mark Bayley, Debbie Kennett, Jackie Depelle, Amelia Bennett and Nick Barratt.

Submit your questions to our panel of experts before the show. Either book a free 1-to-1 session or watch the live stream question panel at 15:30 where you can ask your questions live!
