The Root Features Mapping App from Avencia

You may have heard that Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive is launching a new daily online publication: “The Root.” Per the press release it “blends intelligent, thought-provoking discussion of issues from a variety of black perspectives and a round-up of news from around the world with an interactive genealogical section, creating a unique online destination devoted to the black experience.” But, it’s more than a magazine:

“The Root” hosts an interactive section to trace genealogy and heritage, enabling users to participate in a genealogy test through AfricanDNA.com, co-owned by FamilyTreeDNA. Readers will also have the opportunity to build and map family trees using software developed by Avencia.
