Thinking about cleaning an ancestor's headstone? Stop right there! Doing it incorrectly can cause permanent, irreversible damage to fragile historical marble and limestone.

We’re already planning for 2027 Hoosier Roots Live — and we’re looking for knowledgeable, engaging guests to join us!

Hoosier Roots Live is our hour-long YouTube Live series created to help family historians discover new research strategies, resources, and stories connected to Indiana genealogy.

Programs are normally held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, with a break during the summer months.

For 2027, we’re looking for guest speakers who can help researchers working to uncover their Indiana roots. Topics might include:

• Indiana records and repositories
• Research methods and problem-solving strategies
• Migration and settlement patterns
• Cemetery, military, church, land, or court records
• DNA and technology for genealogy
• Writing and preserving family stories
• Indiana communities, ethnic groups, and local history
• Unique resources that can help break through research roadblocks

If you have expertise to share, we’d love to hear from you.

And even if you’re not interested in presenting, we’d still like your ideas. What topics would you like to see covered on Hoosier Roots Live in 2027?

Interested in being a guest or suggesting a future presentation? Send us a DM.

Help us make 2027 another year of connecting people with the records, places, and stories that bring Indiana family history to life.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the hard-working Hoosiers whose hands built our towns, farmed our land, and laid the foundations of our communities. Local historical and genealogical societies work tirelessly to protect these local records. Share the occupations of your ancestors that you would love to learn more about.

Happy National Grandparents Day! 💛 Grandparents connect us to the stories, traditions, and memories that help shape who we are. What is one story, saying, recipe, or tradition from a grandparent that you hope your family never forgets?
