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!
