RootsTech, the world’s largest family history event, is almost here! I hope you join in some way, either virtual or in person. It all starts this coming Thursday, Leap Day, February 29, 2024. You can watch the virtual classes for free. In-person classes do have a cost, but it’s all worth it. It’s all so fun and enlightening! I love this annual event that combines technology with family history. I’ve never been in person, because of time constraints, but even just watching the classes online fills me up. I learn about new apps and websites to help in my family history research, I learn new research skills, and I get inspired to learn even more about my ancestors and collateral lines. The Family Discovery Day for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on Saturday, is always especially wonderful. With classes for beginners to experts, members of The Church or not, there is something for everyone! Just scan the QR codes you see on this screen if you want to register and enjoy learning about your roots!

Some of the classes are recorded, like this one below from last year. You can watch all the archived videos here, if you want to get that RootsTech vibe before it starts Thursday and keep it going all year round. They bring me so much joy!
