@AncestorExperts just opened its Family Heritage Experience and marked the occasion by naming its Back Bay HQ after my friend @HenryLouisGates. Skip has done incredible work connecting people to their heritage — this honor is incredibly well-deserved. bit.ly/3RHwwY2

Within the walls of @AncestorExperts National Center for Family History, Heritage & Culture are thousands of family stories we can learn about — and learn from.
