About us
Roots and Branches Genealogy Circle is a mentorship group for anyone who wants to dig deeper into their family history, whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for years. We pair newer researchers with experienced mentors, but it's really a place for everyone to learn from each other. Our meetups are casual and friendly, with no pressure to have everything figured out.
At each gathering, we set aside time for open research help. Bring a puzzling ancestor, a document you can't read, or a brick wall you've been stuck on. Mentors and peers will jump in with ideas and fresh eyes. We also share tips on using DNA matches, navigating archives, and organizing your findings. Sometimes we have a short demo on a record set or tool; other times we just talk through what's working.
Between meetups, we keep in touch online to share discoveries and encouragement. It's a supportive circle where every question is welcome and every small breakthrough is celebrated. If you're looking for a genealogy community that feels like a conversation with friends, come join us.
