After an enjoyable experience in 2018, I returned in 2019, and even got my husband, John, to come one of the days to hear Saroo Brierley give a keynote address.

I have loved going to RootsTech the past 2 years. The energy is incredible. This energy comes from learning from and with others, meeting new people, and even better relatives who have the same excitement about genealogy as I do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!
DeleteAttending Rootstech is so much fun. All the treasured knowledge that you can gain from speakers, exhibitors and attendees is amazing. I love learning the tips and tricks to improve my research.
ReplyDeleteKim, As I read your comment it dawned on me that treasured knowledge is then applied and helps to move your research forward. I love applying the principles, those tips and tricks!
DeleteIt is fun! And I agree that tips and tricks learned there can really help!
DeleteI so love going to RootsTech and associating with other lovers of family history, seeing the new products, and learning how I can be a better family historian! Plus, my fellow family historian cousin will be meeting up. I've never met some of them!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at how many cousins there are at RootsTech!
DeleteI've been a few times to RootsTech. The people, classes, speakers, tools, discussions, and even the city prove every time to be an inspiration, and incredible blessing to our individual and collective family history journeys. An so thankful.
ReplyDelete*am
DeleteI feel the same way you do about RootsTech.
Deletewould love to attend the RootsTech Conference. I have never had the opportunity to attend. Their conference is a wealth of information and learning opportunities. I have been researching family genealogy for over 20 years and you never stop learning and sharing the knowledge with others. I would love to learn new way and enhance the ones I use currently to find ancestors and relatives. I am interested in not just the names, but want to know about their daily lives, how things were in their lifetime and the places they lived, where they came from and went to, what they went though and the stories.
ReplyDeleteI see we both have a love for family history. When stories come it makes our family names come to life. They become real people to me not just names who are related to me. Recently I contacted an individual who shared DNA with me. I was looking for more information with documentation. She was able to share with me a picture and a story.
DeleteIt was a great aunt of mine. She told the story that at the age of 14 she was invited to attend a local church revival near where she lived in Florida, and at the service, she made a profession of faith as a Christian and was baptized. When she shared her faith with her father, Nicholas, he told her that she would have to move out of the house, or change her beliefs. She chose to keep her faith and moved out of her father’s house and in with a friend and started cleaning houses to earn a living. Now I see her picture and remember her story and how it may have affected who I am.
There is always something new to learn at RootsTech, and I agree that it is the stories that make the names, dates, and places even more meaningful.
DeleteAttending RootsTech is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to attend sometime!
DeleteI love RootsTech! Hope to be able to attend again this year
ReplyDeleteI hope you can, too!
DeleteI am from Australia and we just do not have anything like Rootstech here. Unfortunately our population is too small to sustain a show like this. I have been once to Rootstech in Salt Lake City and it was an amazing experience. This year I was lucky enough to be able to attend the very first Rootstech in London. It was great but nothing like the atmosphere in Salt Lake. Looking forward to coming back to SLC - hopefully in 2020 if I am lucky enough to win.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would have loved to have attended RootsTech in London!
DeleteLooking forward to attending RootsTech again this year. This is my 4th year attending. have been a volunteer (2-years ago), speaker (last year), and this year as an exhibitor.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look for your booth!
DeleteI'll be working at The Family History Guide booth on Wednesday evening.
DeleteI have never been to Roots tech. It sounds amazing. I am on the east coast so between airfare, hotel and the conference price, I felt guilty asking my husband if I could go. But if I win this, the cost would be lowered and I could go! 🤞🏻
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteFairly new to the genealogy conferences. I attended the Virtual Genealogical Conference this last October, and walked away astounded at the amazing information that was shared. Hoping to attend a RootsTech as well, either this year or next.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much good information available!
DeletePart of the value I get from attending conferences like RootsTech is the opportunity to hear lectures from speakers I have not seen before.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that, as well.
DeleteRootsTech is amazing! So much to learn and share! Not to mention easy access to the Family Hostory Libray and the fun stuff to view and purchase in the Vendor Hall!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I had no idea the first year I attended just how enormous the event was.
DeleteI have never been to RootsTech and I would love the chance to go! This would make it so much more affordable for me!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
