Back to 2013

One of the PR people at Familysearch contacted me yesterday about posting my 2015 Rootstech interviews on the Familysearch blog.

He referred me back to the post they did on my 2013 Rootstech interviews. I managed to get more time in the recording studio in 2013 than I did this year and was lucky enough to snag Familysearch CEO Dennis Brimhall, Keynote speaker David Pogue and some notable Aussies, Brits and Americans.

I think these interviews are worth revisiting and I hope you do too.You can see that post and videos here on The Familysearch Blog.

I am definitely going to try for more time in the video studio in 2016. I really enjoy chatting with this diverse range of people (and the video quality is so much better than in my Hangouts on Air).

The Genealogist's Gadget Bag: International Panel

It's only six weeks until Rootstech and my excitement is growing. I am thrilled to announce that Marie Dougan from Scotland and A C Ivory whom I both met at Rootstech 2011 will be joining me in this session The Genealogist's Gadget Bag: International Panel on Thursday. 

You can see the outline for our presentation and proposed discussion points for our panel here.

Salt Lake City Preparation

If you intend doing a spot of research at The Family History Library prior to or after Rootstech it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Library's website.

Additionally if you read this Guide, Tips for visiting the library,  you should be able to make the most of your visit.

Pre Rootstech Activities

The Talk we attended in 2012

If you are arriving early for Rootstech 2013 you may be interested in the program of free talks at The Family History Library. 

Mr Geniaus and I went to a great one prior to Rootstech 2012. From memory we put our names down on an attendance list when we first visited the library.

Program details can be found here:

I'll certainly be doing some learning at the library prior to Rootstech. How about you?
