There will be Another RootsTech and I Suggest you Attend

A lot of our friends and colleagues chose not to attend RootsTech. They now know that was a mistake. It was full of interesting and important information for people of all levels of  expertise. It was fun, even including an evening of comedy. There were interesting keynote speakers.

RootsTech is a leading edge conference designed to bring technologists together with genealogists, so they can learn from each other and find solutions to the challenges they face in family history research today.

I picked up a great new product for writing stories for publication as an e-book. It motivated me to finish the story I am writing about my grandmother Nancy Athena Porter. If the software is as easy to use as it looks I will be writing a bunch of ebooks.  That alone made the conference worth it.

There was information on the cloud, wiki's, newspaper archives, social media, mobile applications, DNA, YouTube, Google+, to pay or not to pay, building websites with genialogy focus, tools, searching on line, 1940 census, England and Wales, genealogy webinars, and so much more.
