All the new technology is allowing greater access for those who cannot get to repositories and at the same time allowing faster access for everyone, and access to information that would have previously taken years to find or would have never been found (eg. Trove newspapers). It really is a great time for people to get interested in family history. Thanks again for sharing your experiences at Rootstech.A O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420277609206963374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-89385463556148979902011-02-13T14:27:29.845+11:002011-02-13T14:27:29.845+11:00Thanks, Geniaus, for such an interesting summary o...Thanks, Geniaus, for such an interesting summary of what must have been an inspiring talk. As a forrmer history teacher and teacher-librarian I applaud the encouragement to pursue genealogy for fun. It doesn't have to be about the rigours of scholarship; if people experience the excitement and enjoyment of discovery the desire for accuracy usually follows.Genealophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549310254526576482noreply@blogger.com
