LIFE FROM THE ROOTS: Mar 6, 2012

Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

Remember Roots Tech 2012? Now you can View the Lectures for FREE

What a surprise, after over a month, Roots Tech 2012 has finally decided to make available the individual lectures many of us saw in early February. At that time, we were glued to our computers watching the outstanding lectures. Even the minute they were over, I wanted to watch again, but we were told they would be available soon. I've thought about them, but hesitated to ask anybody for fear of appearing stupid for not knowing the answer. It paid off, I just saw the announcement on Google+ by Dave Barney. He wrote, "Individual session videos are now live on RootsTech!

Home | RootsTech.org"

Or go to: FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/techtips/2012/03/rootstech-2012-videos

There are 12 that were streamed live, and five new ones. In addition, "Jay Verkler's keynote "Inventing the Future, As a Community" and Ron Tanner's presentation "Future of FamilySearch Family Tree" will be posted at a later date."

So friends, go to the site, and pick a lecture to watch for the first time or the second. I, for one, am very glad to have these available.
