About The Artist
RootstoJerusalem.com founder/creator, 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 Roots to Jerusalem is the result.
A Virtual Tour format allows you to view a very large family tree online where as traditional mediums are quite restricting and boring for others to view (You’ve probably experienced this).
Interactive Hotspots allow you to collate your information from all media sources in an entertaining and informative way.
I believe EVERYONE has a family tree chock-full of historical figures, average guys with wild stories and saints & sinners peppered throughout. I’ve created this website to offer my Interactive Virtual Family Tree and Timelines Design Service to avid genealogists and people who’ve spent years and endless frustrations compiling their genealogy records. Genealogy, it’s a journey that’s for sure. . . . What’s your story?
