RootsTech Report

I hope everyone enjoyed at least a part of the RootsTech 2024 weekend. Don't forget that the online offerings will be available to all for several years. Each class I attended taught me something new!

Fixing Sticky Problems in FamilySearch Family Tree: It seems that many of the ongoing problems in the Tree have been caused by "bad" merges. Just another reason to be very careful when contemplating any merge.

Tracing Individuals with Similar Names: One of my favorite speakers, D. Joshua Taylor, gave this talk. There were several suggestions that might be helpful.

Genealogy A to Z: A genealogy term, suggestion, idea, etc. for each letter of the alphabet.

Did My Family Get Skipped in the Census?: The speaker went through the process she used to locate a family that "had" to be there but was not found originally.

Tackling a New Research Location: Can you guess that one of the first suggestions was the FamilySearch Wiki?

Brick Walls! Real?: There were many suggestions for analyzing your own research process just in case you are causing your own brick walls.

Introduction to Scandinavian Church Records: Jenny Hansen is the best speaker I've heard on Scandinavian research. If you have ancestors from Norway, Sweden or Denmark, be sure to listen to her presentation.
