Bits of RootsTech

Two of three big days are done, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of a huge, worldwide genealogy conference.  RootsTech 2023, sponsored by FamilySearch, offers hundreds of classes for beginners as well as professionals in arenas of family history.  Taking place in the Salt Palace and virtually online.

Yesterday I learned more about Google searches and explored the Northwest Territory including Michigan.  Today I watched a guide for writing research papers, then randomly discovered an idea for focusing on the positive in life through photography as wall art.  The presenter showed how her team interviews clients and captures the happy, successful views of their life.  Photos are then enlarged and arranged as wall art to inspire family on a daily basis.  Simply a creative enhancement of an old idea.

So exciting!  Family history — are we doing it?
