\"FGSThe Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS<\/a>) annual conference was recently held in Pittsburgh, PA, August 30-September 2, 2017.<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful time at the conference. While there we ran into several of our partners and friends such as AmericanAncestors<\/a>, Angela Rodesky<\/a>, FamilySearch<\/a>, LivingDNA<\/a>, MemoryWeb<\/a>, and ResearchTies<\/a>. We’d like to highlight a few of the lesser-known ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Angela Rodesky<\/h2>\n

Angela Rodesky<\/a> is the owner of Rodesky Genealogy and has 15 years’ experience in genealogical research both personally and professionally. It’s her goal as a genealogist to provide quality genealogical research services with excellent analysis and documentation for all of her clients.<\/p>\n

Check out her preview of the 2017 FGS Conference which mentions us in this YouTube<\/a> video she posted before the conference began.<\/p>\n

\"FGS<\/a>Living DNA<\/h2>\n

Living DNA<\/a> is the most advanced DNA test that offers more detail than competing DNA testing companies.<\/p>\n

With a Living DNA test, you will receive information about your family ancestry from all sides of your family which is broken down across up to 80 worldwide regions.<\/p>\n

The Living DNA test will analyze your mother’s mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as well as your father’s YDNA (if you’re male). Developed with world-leading academics, Living DNA provides twice the detail of any other DNA test available.<\/p>\n

Visit their website and order<\/a> your test today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MemoryWeb<\/h2>\n

MemoryWeb<\/a> is a family-owned business comprised of a husband, his wife, and their two sons. It’s a genealogy photo app that compiles the data that goes along with a photo; names, dates, locations, event information and a description.<\/p>\n

The 2017 FGS Conference was the debut event for MemoryWeb and their introduction to the genealogy industry was well received.<\/p>\n

As Dallan Quass, founder of Rootsfinder.com says it best;<\/p>\n

\u201cOur industry has seen so many solutions for preserving family photos and details that newcomers are nearly all dismissed as YASAPA (yet another story and photo application). Quass continues, \u201cI was fully prepared to count MemoryWeb among those apps with nothing unique or important to offer the genealogy community. I was happily surprised to see that MemoryWeb is the answer to so many of our needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out their own top ten list<\/a> of reasons why you should use them for managing and tagging your treasured family photos and visit the MemoryWeb website<\/a> to start a 90-day free trial.<\/p>\n

\"FGS<\/a>ResearchTies<\/h2>\n

ResearchTies<\/a> was designed and developed to improve the research quality and efficiency of genealogists by allowing users to record a research objective and the sources to search. ResearchTies is a great resource to organize your research efforts as data entry of search results is streamlined to allows users to spend more of their time at an archive center conducting actual research. Links to online results can be created, and digital images of documents can be uploaded easily and efficiently.<\/p>\n
