SOOO Much Going On at RootsTech Connect 2021

Have you been attending RootsTech Connect 2021? It is SOOO fun! There are the cousin connections – finding your cousins among the over 500,000 people attending the event – and figuring out how you are connect to them. Could be a breakthrough on a line that you have had a brick wall! On Wednesday night, I had 4350 cousins, Thursday 5700, and then today – OVER 10,000!!! Oh my … I’m digging in on each of them, as I’ve been working a long time on finding the original surname of my Polish ancestral family (we have at least six spelling variations – Nimer, Niemiec, Nemshak, Nimiec, Niemczyk, Niemczky… gads!). Hoping to find some cousins that connect in this line and maybe know more than I.

And I’ve been listening to sessions! LOTS of sessions! You can save presentations on your “MyPlaylist” and the recordings are available to you for a YEAR! Wow! So I’m making a list of everything I want to hear. There are presentations too in other languages, so as I’m working to improve my French language skills, I’m marking some of the French sessions to listen to!

The Expo Hall is amazing too – you can check out special deals, talk with people 1:1 and purchase things at special RootsTech prices. Really nice! I miss being able to physically see people, browse at the booths and actually touch the jewelry, books and materials but this the safest for right now it and it’s really good!

Another day of fun tomorrow – I’m hoping to be able to be there more as I’m “other” job took my time the last few days, but I’m OFF tomorrow to check out sessions and talk with more people. I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the Chat rooms for the sessions. I’ve met some great, knowledgeable people and I’m arranging to “meet up” (via phone or Zoom) later so that I can learn from them. We’ve been chatting about the content of my session, of course, but also we have a group for all of us as speakers, bloggers, and more. The Chat rooms are really fun if you haven’t joined in yet. Please do!

See you there? Join your 500,000+ potential cousins at http://www.rootstech.org – you won’t regret it!
