 Case Study and Preparing for RootsTech 2023

We are changing our name to "Genealogy Club - Seabrook-Kiawah Island", the DIRT has been a  wonderful and cute title, however you always have to explain we are a Genealogy Club.

We had a good hybrid session with several on the zoom and many in the room.  

Glenn Soden's case study on: Circumstantial Proof was wonderful.  Thank you, Glenn.

RootsTech 2023 is on March 2,3 and 4, 2023 - free virtual Genealogy Conference (largest in the world).  Our presentation on Getting the Most out of RootsTech 2023 was well received and a link to the replay video is here: Click Here

We had a discussion about our name Digging into Roots Together and decided to change the name to Genealogy Club Seabrook - Kiawah Island for better communication of who we are.  All attending the session thought it was a good idea to change the name.
