RootsTech 2025 ~ Virtual
This is a quick post to document the classes I attended during the RootsTech 2025 genealogy conference. I attended the conference virtually again this year, which makes this my 10th. time in a row. My only in-person was in 2012, 2013, and 2015.
Each year RootsTech calculates how many relatives you are related to through their FamilySearch Family Tree. This year I have 36,109! I can usually confirm whether they are related to me up to the 4th. cousin range.
Classes I attended each day.
I am hoping to attend next year’s conference in-person. It would be nice to drive up this time from San Diego and visit some canyon country wilderness areas. We’ll see!
Well, what stuck out was Alice Childs' "Interesting Lines" presentation (day 1). Also, CeCe's talk about the behind the scenes of Finding Your Roots was more eye opening than her previous talks about it.
You're right, that is a short post. ;) 10 years in a row? Virtual didn't happen till 2020. :)
ReplyDeleteI meant 10 years in a row either virtual or in-person. ;)
DeleteAnd which class did you find the most useful, Paul? I remember going to RootsTech in person, lo these many years ago . . . .

DeleteGood recap of your conference experience! Hope you can go in person next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I can go next year too!
