RootsTech2020

Lorrie and Lisa at RootsTech, a huge family history/technology conference held every year in Salt Lake City, Utah. February 25-29, 2020.

We are just winding up four whirlwind days at RootsTech2020, a great place to collaborate with other genealogists and catch up on what is new in the field. We thought you might enjoy exploring a few links to websites of some of our genealogical colleagues. Each has something unique to contribute, and some may hold specific treasures of information that will shed light on your family. When we all contribute what we know and can do, we can accomplish amazing things!
