About RootsSphere

RootsSphere is an educational platform dedicated to helping people learn how to research their family history with clarity, confidence, and sound methodology.
Rather than focusing on quick tips or shortcuts, RootsSphere emphasizes careful research, understanding historical records, and developing strong genealogical reasoning.

About the Founder

RootsSphere was founded by Deedra MacKenzie, a lifelong family history researcher who believes genealogy should be both intellectually rigorous and deeply rewarding.
Through RootsSphere, she hopes to help others develop the skills needed to research their own families with confidence, patience, and thoughtful methodology.
Her goal is to create a welcoming learning environment where people at all experience levels can grow as genealogists.
