Education galore!
Genealogy is life-long learning at its best and there are so many ways
to learn. Be sure to read to the end.
We need to ask ourselves:
How does this class help with my goals?
Does this class cover fresh material I haven’t seen before? Am I familiar with the instructor? If not, you can widen your horizons. How does the price compare to other
opportunities? Use google to find out
more about the presenter, the topic and the venue.
Five spring seminars are looming and the links are on the
Genies blogsite under the Events tab at the top. (Remember: just click on the blogpost title
at the top of any Genies email to get to the blogsite.)
An in-person seminar is always fun and our local seminar
is a great place to connect with local people. Of all five seminars I picked the Whatcom Genealogical Society seminar on March 16 with Cyndi Ingle because
of her intriguing technical topics. They
are asking for a mail-in registration by Feb 25. Now is the time to act on this one. The details and registration form are here:
On the other hand, for the price of a local seminar you
can get a subscription to https://familytreewebinars.com/
where you can access 900+ archived webinars.
Undoubtedly this is the best genealogy education value anywhere. I’m sure Thomas MacEntee has a discount
waiting for you. You can always go https://abundantgenealogy.com
and look for “webinars” or try this link.

Such a deal!
RootsTech! Yay! This
coming Wednesday is the first day of the RootsTech Conference in Salt Lake
City. There will be free live streaming
of 22 sessions over 4 days. Free is
always good with no airfare, hotel or meals eaten out. There will also be 12 sessions filmed for the
archives available after the conference which appear to be free. All this not to be confused with the $129
Virtual Pass which offers 15 recorded sessions.
Go to https://www.rootstech.org/salt-lake
and the live stream tile is near the bottom.
Times are Mountain Time. The
general sessions are Wed at 3:30 PT and 10:00 am PT on the other days. They are pure entertainment.
For the first time I am staying home from a conference
and pretending I am there. Clear the
decks, stock up on snacks. RootsTech,
here I come! In addition to the live
stream there is a hashtag #notatRootsTech so we can follow on social media. Also #RootsTech. I signed up for The Genealogy Blog Party
RootsTech Round-Up, whatever that is.
Also giveaways. And I updated my RootsTech
app and downloaded the 2019 Conference. There
is a cloud icon where handouts and videos will appear once we get this all
figured out.
Let me know if you are undertaking the RootsTech journey
with me. Or any part of it.
