RootsTech 2023 marked the return of the world’s largest genealogy show after the break imposed by the pandemic. Here are some images from the event.
RootsTech is back, and Geneanet was there! At our booth: discoveries and emotions for two and a half days. One visitor was amazed to discover half-siblings in a Geneanet tree. Another one got in touch with a previously unkown cousin, with the prospect of exchanging family photos. And one young American woman broke down in tears when she found a Belgian tree that revealed her grandfather’s entire family!

I would like to know the parents of Daniel Grandjean, Nauchtel, Switzerland about the year 1636.
Answer from Geneanet: It’s best to ask questions like these in our forums.

I would like to know if we can discover where Joseph Marie Michel, born 1871 went to school? He arrived in Australia 1887, we have not discovered the name of the ship
Answer from Geneanet: Perhaps our article “Resources for Australian genealogy” will be helpful.

Talking to a like minded LIVE genealogist can sometimes be more fruitful than studying dusty old records as often family lore that is rarely documented is handed down through the generations.
For instance one of my ancestors, a Belgium man went to Russia as part of Napoleon’s army and experienced the worst winter on record.
He lost his toes to frost bite but managed to walk back to Germany where he collapsed in the street.
A kind family took him in and nursed him back to health, he repaid their kindness by marrying their daughter from whom I am descended.

Looked like a great event. Saw some talks online from Richmond Hill Ontario Canada. Maybe one day I will attend in person.

About five years ago a Genealogy Roadshow was held in Ireland and their experts offered Free Lookups.
It was so well received at the time there was talk of repeating it in a few years.
What is the scuttlebutt please
