  The Hineston Chronicles   Volume 13 Number 4    Photo added to Historic Hineston Facebook group  by  Chris Perkins Carolyn's Corner RootsTech and Could We Be Related   I know you all have heard of FamilySearch - a free genealogical website and is owned and operated by FamilySearch International.   It is a nonprofit organization that is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.   The organization has been gathering and sharing genealogical records for many decades.    Most of these records are not online and searchable.   Included are 300,000 plus digital books that cannot be found any place else.  Another thing FamilySearch sponsors each year is RootsTech (which is all about connections).    Before 2020 the event was in person only.  During the pandemic it was virtual; however, now it is both in person and virtual.   Since it has been virtual I have atte...
