- Real-time updates.

For Everyone Interested in Genealogy:

Try the Genealogy Tweet Stream now.
Technical Background
To get your genealogy tweets picked up by the Genealogy Tweet Stream, do the following:
- Use one of the following tags: #genealogy #familysearch #familyhistory #rootstech #rootstech2016 #genchat.
- Have original content:
- RTs (retweets) are filtered.
- Most tweets starting with @ are also filtered.
- Don't spam.
Note: we no longer follow the #familyhistory tag. Unfortunately, it is now used too much by people talking about their family medical history, which is not appropriate for genealogy.
