One of my favorite events of every year is RootsTech.  It always reinvigorates me to dig in deeper to my families history and genealogies; and presenting always challenges me throughout the year to learn more and dig deeper into the amazing tools and resources that are available. I'm thrilled to announce that I will be returning to RootsTech as a Presenter this year.  Come join me, I promise it will not disappoint with all of the oldie but goodies like the Expo Hall, amazing classes & keynotes, and fun evening events.  Even more exciting will be all of the additions including Power Hours, the full extra day on Wednesday (including a free lunch), and all the new Keynotes and Events. The countdown has begun it's only a few weeks away. Get your passes and come meet me for lunch at the world's best genealogy and technology conference.
