Many people have asked me about the thousand or so videos that were once featured on RootsTelevision. I’ve been meaning to share at least some of them, but frankly, have a busy life with lots of competing priorities. Still, I’ve been wanting to do this and am delighted to finally start! I set up a personal YouTube channel, and over time, will upload selected RootsTelevision videos.

The first one I’ve popped up is all about genealogical cruising. I’ve had the good fortune to be invited to speak on about half a dozen cruises (hope to see some of you this September on Legacy Family Tree’s Panama Canal cruise!), and highly recommend it. This is a homemade video my husband and I put together on the second genealogical cruise we went on. It’s nothing fancy, but we figured that folks who hadn’t tried it yet might want a taste of what it’s like. You’ll recognize a few faces, no doubt — Dick Eastman, John Grenham, Cyndi Howells, Bob Velke, and others — and get a sense of the ship, food, events, and so forth.  But perhaps most importantly, you’ll also hear reactions from the participants themselves toward the end. Enjoy!
