Advancements in Family History Research

Think genealogy is digging through old libraries and church basements? Think again. Family History research came a long way in the past few years. Today, you’re more likely to uncover hidden family mysteries using your smartphone.  Additionally, DNA results are an amazing resource. And thanks to popular television programs like Relative Race, interest in family history is only growing.

KSL-TV’s Michelle King hosts the documentary “A New Generation of Genealogy”.  She explores how modern technology makes your family research fun and memorable.
