The second part of my report from Rootstech 2024 highlights an interesting panel session, which you can watch online, featuring some of the movers and shakers of the genetic genealogy world. They discussed the origins of the field and how it has progressed in the first quarter century. It’s a lovely summary of “so far”.
Produced as a part of this is a nice book of vignettes and observations from people who were involved the creation of this industry. It’s available as a free ebook to download, but I was able to buy my own copy at the conference. Since many of the people who contributed to it were at Rootstech, I took the opportunity to get it signed by as many of them as possible. I didn’t manage everyone so I guess I’ll be bringing it again next time!
