Rakonto is excited to announce that we will be attending the conference, and we hope you can join us!

The National Genealogical Society (NGS) is America’s premier nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting family history researchers with the resources they need to be successful.

Founded in 1888, NGS provides education and training to serious genealogists at all levels through its renowned Family History Conference, award-winning publications, websites, and online courses.

NGS’s Family History Conference is the largest annual gathering of family history enthusiasts in the world. This year’s conference will be held in Sacramento, California, from May 24-28.

Rakonto will have a booth at the conference, and we would love to meet you and answer any questions you have about using our platform to tell your family’s story.

Whether you’re just getting started in your family history research or you’re a seasoned veteran, the NGS conference is a great opportunity to learn from some of the best genealogists in the business and make connections with other researchers.

Rakonto can also help you take your family history research to the next level.

Our platform makes it easy to store your stories for generations to come as well as add previous records and recordings of other family members. Plus, add multimedia content like photos, videos, and audio recordings, which can bring your stories to life and help you make new discoveries.

DNA testing for family history: what you need to know

DNA testing is becoming increasingly popular for family history research, and the NGS conference will have several lectures and workshops on the topic.

If you’re thinking about DNA testing for your family history research, the NGS conference is a great place to learn more about it. You can hear from experts on what DNA testing can and can’t do for your research, and learn about the different types of tests available.

Rakonto can also help you make the most of DNA testing for your family history.

Our platform makes it easy to store your test results and share them with other family members who might be interested in learning more about their heritage.

Why family history is important (and interesting!)

Family history is more than just a list of names and dates. It’s the story of who we are and where we came from.

Understanding our family history can give us a sense of identity and belonging, and it can help us understand the world around us.

Family history is also interesting! Learning about our ancestors can be fascinating, and it can give us a window into the past.

At the NGS conference, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from experts on how to find, preserve, and share your family history. You can also browse the exhibitor hall for resources that can help you in your research.

The Last Word

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to family history research. The NGS conference is a great place to learn about the different approaches and find the resources you need to get started.

Storytelling is one of the oldest methods for sharing family history – and there’s no greater place to start than sharing your findings on our platform with the knowledge found through the NGS conference.

Rakonto can help you tell your family’s story, preserve your findings, and connect with other researchers.

We hope you can join us at this fantastic event in person or online!
