I was thrilled that RootsTech streamed and recorded my session. You can watch it below:
You can find links to all of the recorded sessions on the RootsTech website. You can watch all of them for free!
You can also download the RootsTech syllabus. The one for my session is under “RootsTech 2390.”)
I watched it this morning and was so impressed by how natural you are on stage.
Thank you!
Your newsletters are always so helpful and full of information. Thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!
Thank you Amy for an excellent presentation. It was great to meet you at Rootech. 🙂
Enjoyed watching you yesterday, I agree you are very relaxed in your presentation. Great sites you mentioned, can’t wait to play with them!
Thank you for the link to Summit Memory. I found an article about my husband’s grandfather – and his loss of two of three sons in WWII in 1944. I knew about this, but this article in a Goodyear company newsletter gave a different perspective – and my husband didn’t know that his grandfather worked for Goodyear! I will definitely find time to watch this and other RootsTech presentations!
How tragic — and how interesting that the company newsletter had a write up about it.
I really enjoyed the session! New tools I had not used before.
Have fun exploring!
So many websites, so little time! Great presentation! Glad I found someone else that loves the history part of geneaalogy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved doing 31 days and now really got a lot from the RootsTech presentation. Kudos on your preso style.. walking around, no podium.. My kind of preso!! Congratulations.
