It is time for RootsTech again. RootsTech (rootstech.org) will be at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on February 27 through March 2, 2019. The information and technology available for family history seem to be growing exponentially, and it is easy to feel lost. Rootstech presented by FamilySearch has recognized the need to help us keep abreast of all the goings-on, so we are more confident as we learn about our ancestors.
With over 300 classes and a great lineup of keynote speakers, there is something for everyone. The goal of RootsTech is to give you the ultimate learning experience. They have classes to help you understand DNA better and to get more out of your DNA test results. The tools classes will help you learn how to research more efficiently. There are even classes to help you organize and preserve the mountain of photos that always seem to be put aside to work on later. The stories of our ancestors are so important, and there are classes to help you collect more meaningful stories that your family will enjoy for years to come.
This year I will not be attending RootsTech, but I will be taking advantage of the live streaming of classes on the rootstech.org website. I will be able to watch the keynote speakers and 22 classes live from the comfort of my couch. They are streaming the classes by Ron Tanner, Diahan Southard (my favorite DNA specialist), Kenyatta Berry, Crista Cowan (Ancestry.com specialist) and Blaine Bettinger to name a few.
RootsTech is also offering a new twist to this year - a virtual pass for $129.00 where you will have access to 18 online recorded sessions from the conference. You will be able to watch these whenever you want, and they are different classes from the streamed live ones. The recorded classes will save you money and help you advance your genealogy skills.
On Saturday, Family Discovery Day, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be streamed live from LDS.org. Family Discovery Day is a fun-filled day with activities for the whole family. The keynote speakers for this event are Elder and Sister Bednar.
There is something for everyone at RootsTech. There is even something for those who cannot attend in person. RootsTech is a do not miss event for all those who wish to improve their skills and knowledge of genealogy.
