Hey it’s Day 1 of RootsTech 2022! I couldn’t watch the livestream earlier today so I’m catching up right now on the recordings. Go here to watch! Get inspired about researching your family tree, telling family stories, and the cutting-edge technology that helps with that! The above screenshot is from the cute music video below called, “Choose Connection.” The song is written and sung by Aaliyah Rose. You can read the story behind the song here. It’s so beautiful!

When you get to the home page of RootsTech, click on “main stage” if you want to watch the keynote speakers and innovators’ summit. You’ll learn about some new cool software/apps like Fareloom (for preserving memories about ancestral food) and Map Explorer (to travel back in time with maps). Click on “sessions” to watch presentations of specific research tips, stories, and topics. It’s all so yummy and best of all it’s free!

This video explains how to navigate without overwhelm to make the most of your experience.

Here’s one session below called “Power of Connection Kickoff: Case Studies in Connection.”
