Wow—over 4,000 genealogists attended this year’s RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City last week. This must-attend conference was a nonstop opportunity to learn about the latest genealogy technology and to talk shop with like-minded genealogists from around the country. I have been attending genealogy conferences for nearly 50 years and RootsTech 2012 was the best ever. Plan now to attend the next RootsTech conference, on March 21-23, 2013!
GenealogyBank was there in force, with seven reps from our Team on-site to meet our members and explore their ideas, “wow” finds, and suggestions for GenealogyBank as we move into 2012.
At the RootsTech 2012 conference, I gave a presentation on searching newspapers for your family history that was well attended and very well received. If you were unable to attend my presentation at the conference in person, you can download a free copy of the PowerPoint slides I used, entitled “Newspapers for Genealogists: Document Every Day of Your Ancestors’ Lives” by clicking the Facebook “Like” button below:

Kevin Spaulding – I finally got it. Not sure how because I didn't see what happened. Thanks for your help.
RootsTech announced that feeutron of its popular sessions will be broadcasted live and complimentary over the Internet. Sandra’s presentation Genealogists Go Mobile is one of these live presentations. Congratulations! Can’t wait to watch you. Interested viewers can watch the live presentations at RootsTech.org. Details on how to watch are pending and will be posted to the RootsTech website.
Janice Louise Nusbaum Good! Thanks for the follow up. We hope you enjoy our presentation.
Enjoyed the RootsTech presentation. Wish I had been there.
I had facebook open, clicked on the link and have received no download. Interesting, perhaps having to do with Mozilla?
Hi Ann. Which version of Mozilla Firefox are you running?
I'm running 10.1. I do have to tell you that when I closed my previous link after clicking on the like, and went back to it, the Like Button was no longer available to me, which I thought was interesting. I even tried opening Adobe to see if that would facilitate any action. Nothing. So, like Janice said below…I am not that dumb, but I am missing something.
Try this link: bit.ly/x46H6R. Please let us know if that works for you.
Yes, it did and thank you ever so much. Please let me add here that I love GenealogyBank and old newspapers. Thank you for this presentation and all of the newspapers.
Genealogy Bank is a great research tool.
newspapers really do help tell the tale of families…
I've used Genealogy Bank for a long time and have found so much to help me in my research.
