Resources at FamilySearch, free and easily accessible

Resources at FamilySearch have always been free, and now records to document our ancestry are more readily accessible at familysearch.org. After over 25 years of research, I am still able to discover more using the historic records made available online as well as other avenues of free research assistance such as FamilySearch Forums, and FamilySearch Wiki.

I want others to have the same success in documenting their ancestry. For this reason I spend a great deal of time sharing what I know. FamilySearch has over 140 free research courses to help you here: Research Courses. You will be amazed at how much you can learn from the comfort of your home.

Please find two courses below recently filmed by FamilySearch below along with resources that will be useful to viewers of Nurturing Our Roots on NO-ATV, hosted by Antoinette Harrell.

Freedom Maverick Awards

The awards below were inspired by a photograph that I took at The State House in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. There is so much said about the Confederate flag that hangs there, but I never have seen much about the African American Monument that depicts the history of African Americans. Taking down a flag alone does not change a people's vision. Those we acknowledge as being a Freedom Maverick (a word coined by Angela Y.Walton-Raji in podcast #91) will help us have the right perspective.
