RootsTech 2025
If you are interested in family history, you would probably enjoy some of the sessions in RootsTech that you can watch for free. There is a wide range of experts and topics. FamilySearch is the world's largest family history site that is entirely free. (You may know that I served for free in FamilySearch Support for 10 years, ending in 2020.)
RootsTech is the FamilySearch's HUGE annual family history event of the year. It is co-sponsored by companies that serve family history. (ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, findmypast.com, etc.)
I
have heard RootsTech
described in many ways, including "A rock concert for family history." and "A technological extravaganza centered
on family history." Basically, there is something
for everyone.
Whether you are looking for fun activities for
your family, the latest research tips,
or preserving your family heritage for future generations, you will
probably find something there that is useful and fun.
One of the best things about RootsTech is that many of the sessions can be viewed years later. If you are looking for training or information on any related topic, try searching RootsTech. I do!
You can register to view the online sessions of RootsTech 2025 for free and watch at your own convenience. Or you can pay to attend in person. Both options have their advantages.
One of my personal favorites is "Relatives at RootsTech", where I can see distant cousins from other parts of the world who are also attending.
