Have you used AI for genealogy research?
- Superstar volunteer developer — and proud adoptee — Greg Clarke has updated his Fan Chart and DNA Confirmation apps to work with Biological Parents. If you're an adoptee or have bio-only parents, click here for your fan chart and look for the Ado, Bio, and Combo buttons near the top.
- Three of WikiTree's important "functional projects" are seeking new volunteers:
- Adoption Angels use their genealogical and DNA research skills to help adoptees find birth family. Please join!
- Arborists specialize in merging duplicate profiles to keep our tree healthy. Please join!
- Greeters are extraordinary volunteers who welcome new members. Please join!
- Yesterday, WikiTree surpassed 16 million profiles with DNA test connections!
Starting tomorrow, our friends at AncestryDNA are having a special sale: $34 DNA tests.
- The US Black Heritage (USBH) Project is the subject of an AARP Senior Planet article. From USBH co-leader Emma MacBeath:
"My greatest personal joy is saying the names of enslaved ancestors, many of whom haven't had their name said for many generations. We can't go back and fix their past, but we can reconnect them with their families and descendants now."
USBH needs your help connecting families torn apart by slavery.

"Find a project that resonates with you. Whether it's based on geography, a surname, or a specific interest, working within a project makes the learning curve easier. You'll be supported by a community, and it's far more manageable than working alone." —Rod Savoie
