Genealogy, I am Doing It! Family History Collaboration Gets Easier for Researchers

Salt Lake City, UT – I was genuinely amazed at what I saw during the 2^nd Annual RootsTech Conference in Salt Lake City that just concluded.

The Salt Palace was packed with wall to wall displays by the many companies providing software, computers, printers, scanners, mobile apps, research services, and all the many tools that make doing genealogy more fun than ever before. It was also packed with a combination of professional genealogists, amateur genealogists, and the many technical experts what want to help them all do it better than ever before.

There were far more classroom presentations than any one person could attend, but fortunately they were all presented live online, and archived for anyone to listen to at any time. The recordings and the syllabus of every presentation are available at http://www.RootsTech.org. » read more
