The digitization of records and their availability online has offered unprecedented access for amateur genealogists. Kenyatta D. Berry, host of “Genealogy Roadshow” on PBS, joins host Krys Boyd to talk about using this information to build a story of your family – and about how collecting this data is still challenging for descendants of slaves. Her new book is called “The Family Tree Toolkit: A Comprehensive Guide to Uncovering Your Ancestry and Researching Genealogy” (Skyhorse Publishing).
