I hope many of you enjoyed at least one of the classes provided by Roots Tech this year. The first year it was an online event most of the classes were required to be from 5 to 20 minutes (to accommodate short attention spans?). I'm happy to report that most of the presentations are now back to about 45 minutes with questions at the end. Some of the shorter classes (20 minutes each) had two parts.
Unlocking German Ancestry: three presenters. One covered German research in the U. S., a second reviewed research in Germany including many helpful websites, and the third talked about resources to help interpret the records in German, including handwriting suggestions and German word lists. Excellent
Mining the Census: two parts. A basic primer and great for beginners.
I also watched several classes that covered pre-1850 research, cluster research, analyzing records, etc. All gave me some new ideas about my own searching. All of the presentations included printable handouts.
