    I found it informative. My cousin requested that my mother, Rose Gabay, have her DNA taken when she was 102 years old by ancestry. She doesn’t remember if she transferred that information to my Heritage. I think she must have since I was invited to the webinar.

    A good overview of RootsTech 2025. I watched many of the sessions online but not all. This will help me decide on ones I missed that I will watch on the RootsTech site during this coming year.

    As always the webinar was very informative. It helped fill in the gaps with segments that I missed on Roots Tech online. The webinars have opened new doors for me in my research. I look forward to them whenever I can!
