The Future of Viking Roots
Phase I is a culmination of over 20 years of work, providing a meeting place for likeminded individuals who would like to track and contribute to the memorializaton of their heritage. Phase II is a formal digital museum with interactive features, family trees, and cooperative features where you can store your historic family images and collaberate with family members. Phase 2 will further connect families together online with a more detailed profile area, additional website content, and the goal of creating a more community-centered platform for sharing. The timeline of this second phase is still in progress, however, our goal of discovering the lineage of families and connecting people together will remain at the forefront of everything we do.
Viking Roots: Connecting Families Together
The purpose of this project is to unite families together by connecting the dots throughout each unique journey in life. Families often have a unique, rich history that originates from their ancestors. How they arrived in the city they currently live in is a story worth sharing. Understanding more of what life was like before their upbringing is something many people seek to understand. Learning more about one's parents, their parents’ parents, and the generations well before them can uncover so much wonderful information while also creating a way to connect people.
The Viking Roots project is about just that. Discovery & connectivity of families together through the very roots that tell the story of one’s lineage. This project is about creating a place online where family members can answer questions, fill in gaps, and discover more about their own history than they thought possible through the power of digital connections and communication. In its essence, this project will allow people from across Canada, North America, and the World to learn more about their ancestors, their heritage, and the stories that define their family long before their time and will continue long after.
The Viking Roots Project Phase 1
In the first phase of this project, you can register your information and begin filling in your profile with information about yourself and your family by answering a few questions. From here, other family members can join and enter their information which may extend the family tree, connect long-lost family members, share stories, and help discover more about your lineage. Where your ancestors originated, their stories, and how their paths lead to where you are today. This can then be added by your own extended family including children to continue to story while connecting online with one another for years to come.
