Are you attending Rootstech in person? It’s a bucket list adventure for me, but until the time I can take time off for it, I join for free online. It’s easy to register:
(https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/registration)
Once you register, you can build your schedule based on the events available online. One of the first is a keynote speaker with a story close to home. Mr. José Hernández will be speaking about how he went from working a field near Stockton, California, to being a NASA engineer.
My schedule is as follows:
- Keynote: José Hernández
- Keynote: The Gardiner Brothers
- Universal Language: Making Family Connections Through Food (Alynda Kusch)
- Capture the Important Moments: Turning Your Daily Life Into A Living Family Story (Benjamin M. De Hoyos
- Keynote: Jessica Soho
- What’s New in Family Tree Maker (Duff Wilson)
- Timelines for Genealogy: A Powerful Research Tool (Janet Few)
Please share yours!
