Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
Recorded live at the RootsTech 2026 conference in Salt Lake City, this episode of Journey Through the Generations features a conversation with genealogist and entrepreneur André Kearns, founder and CEO of Black Ancestries.Trisha sits down with André in the expo hall at the world’s largest genealogy conference to talk about how he got started in family history research, the evolution of genealogy over the past 20 years, and the powerful role that technology is playing in helping people uncover their stories.André shares how a simple request from his father to create a family tree for a reunion led him into decades of research, eventually tracing his family lineage back to a named African ancestor. He also discusses the importance of records, DNA matches, and emerging tools like AI-powered document transcription that are helping researchers uncover ancestors who were previously hidden in historical records.In addition, André talks about the mission behind Black Ancestries and his vision to help people of African descent uncover, celebrate, and preserve their family history across the global diaspora.To learn more about André and the work he is doing, or you want some help with your own research visit, https://blackancestries.com/Support the showStay Connected with Journey Through the Generations📬 Join Our Newsletter Get exclusive genealogy tips, research tools, behind-the-scenes updates, and early access to new resources delivered straight to your inbox.
