Friday Family History: Rootstech

While at BYU's Education Week this year, I learned a little bit more about Rootstech, a family history and technology conference. For example, I learned that videos of the 2012 presentations can be found here. I haven't had a chance to watch even one in its entirety yet, but with titles such as "Eleven Layers of Online Searches," "Making the Most of Technology to Further the Family History Industry," and "Privacy in a Collaborative Environment," I am sure the videos will be informative and interesting.

Registration for the 2013 conference opens later this month. I'm not sure I'll make it to Salt Lake City, but I will definitely bookmark the website and watch for more information and hopefully more videos!

What are your favorite family history sites?

Thanks for technology which makes family history relatively (pun intended) easy!

She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her. "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall. This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
