What’s Your Story?

Cindy L. Anderson is a life-long ­­visual artist that has been involved in Genealogy for over 20 years. After experiencing the limitations and frustrations that research brings, the Roots to Jerusalem Tree began to grow, going back 2,000 years to Jerusalem—Inspiring it’s title and the name of this site.

As much as I’ve enjoyed my journey into genealogy, it’s been wonderfully surprising, and at times equally as eyeopening in my discoveries. With Long held questions, answered. New questions arise en masse. Being a visual person, as I went along in my research, I wanted to SEE my findings and lay them out in a format that would be informative as well as beautiful. I was familiar with 360 virtual tour software and thought possibly this might be just the platform that may work for me, and the Roots to Jerusalem Tree is the result.
