Randy's RootsTech Recap - Day 3 (Friday)

Friday, February 28, 2020 was my second full day at RootsTech 2020 SLC, and it was a very full day.  I resolved to take some photos in the Expo Hall and succeeded. 

I leaped out of bed at 6:20 a.m., checked email and blogs, and dressed and left for breakfast at 7 a.m.  Took the TRAX to the Plaza, and walked the block to the Salt Palace.  I arrived in time for the Ancestry presentation of "Getting the Most From Historical Records on Ancestry" by Nick Stoddard, Echo Odunze and one other young lady.  It was OK, but I didn't learn anything new.

*  After the class, I went to the Media Hub in the Expo Hall and read blogs, updated the blog compendium, and wrote several blog posts from press releases.  After the Expo Hall opened at 10 a.m., I methodically wandered the hall taking semi-random photos of booths or interest.  Here are a few:

a)  The Mayflower 1620 ship model by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society:

b)  Robert Bristow and Nathan Dylan Goodwin at their booth (Nathan's Morton Farrier books were selling well!):

c)  There is a free DNA Basics Learning Center in the Expo Hall with scheduled talks, especially for DNA beginners:

d)  Jonny Perl (on the left in back of the table) and the DNA Painter booth:

e)  I am intrigued by the Tapestrees booth with all sorts of family tree jewelry and artistic creations:

I received an email that my 4th cousin George Crabb was at RootsTech, and could we meet.  George and I share a Caadian Kemp connection. George came by at 11:15 and we had a great getting-to-know you session:

At 11:45 a.m., I ran into Roberta Estes and we went off to the MyHeritage luncheon, and sat together in the front row to heckle Gilad.  It was a buffet lunch.  Gilad Japhet shared some stories and photos about his mother's 85th birthday and her accomplishments, and then presented the recent MyHeritage new features. 

I returned to the Media Hub at around 1:30 p.m. and took more photographs in the Expo Hall and started uploading them to Facebook (you can see most of my photos on my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/Geneaholic).

Then it was back to blogging, and talking to friends and colleagues.  I had a 3:30 appointment with FileShadow and somehow showed up at 4:15 p.m.  I forgot bout my time change! 

I went back to the Media Hub and did a little more work, and then there was the Geneabloggers photo opportunity at 5:50.  I was in the back of the group, and the Expo Hall was noisy, and DearMYRTLE was reading something.  I heard my name mentioned and folks urged me to go up front for something.  The GeneaBloggers organization awarded me a GeneaBloggers Lifetime Achievement Award, citing my 13,000 plus blog posts, encouraging others, and more.  I will blog about this in a separate blog post with photos of the award.

I left the Media Hub at 6:30, caught the TRAX and got to my hotel room at 6:50 p.m. and did a bit more work with the photos.  I left at 7:30 p.m. and took TRAX to the Marriott for the 8 p.m. MyHeritage Friends dinner.  I sat with Marian Pierre-Louis and Russ Worthington and others and Daniel Horowitz encouraged us to recommend more Friends for MyHeritage.  I have some nominees!

It was 9:30 p.m., so I caught TRAX back to the hotel and worked on the laptop for awhile before turning in.

There is one more day, and I will probably have to highlight activities for that on Sunday and I will have lots more photos from the Expo Hall during the week.

Be sure to read the RootsTech 2020 Salt Lake City Blog Compendium with blog posts from all geneabloggers.

Randy's RootsTech Recap - Day 2 (Thursday)

My first real day at RootsTech 2020 SLC was Thursday, 27 February.

I woke up around 7 a.m., got dressed, picked up the laptop, stopped at the coffee shop for oatmeal with raisins, and walked the 6 blocks (they are big blocks!) uphill to the Salt Palace.  It was cool out - about 35F, but I made it in time for the 8 a.m. session of the RootsTech 2020 Innovation and Technology Forum.  I reported on it in RootsTech 2020 Innovation and Technology Forum Summary.  I even took some photos in that forum.

After the forum, I headed to the Media Hub and found my usual spot in the back and plugged in laptop with all good intentions to write blog posts.  I grabbed a banana and some water, and was ready to blog!  After about five keystrokes I was inundated by geneabloggers and hangers on in the Media Hub for the next hour or so.  I finally managed to update the blog compendium.

At about 11:45 I headed out for lunch at the deli sandwich line in the Expo Hall - they moved it to the west side of the center.  I saw Pat and Gordon and ate lunch with them.

After lunch, I started my reconnaissance of the Expo Hall, and wound up back in the Media Hub by 1 p.m.  I mt with Jay Verkler for almost an hour talking about old times, family, genealogy and the future.  After greeting and chatting with more geneabloggers, I left at 3:15 p.m. for my meeting with Gilad Japhet of MyHeritage.  We talked about new and upcoming features on MyHeritage and also some family stories.

Back in the Media Hub at 4:30 p.m., I was reading blogs and answering email when Mark Olsen came by and asked if I wanted to go to the FamilySearch reception at the Family History Library.  I hd signed up for RootsTech too late to be on the invitation list, but Mark could bring a guest.  So we went, and had a great time.  It was just finger food, but it was dinner, including dessert!  The reception was over by 6:45 p.m. so I left and took the Trax back to the hotel.  With Trax I only have to walk two blocks instead of six blocks.

I spent the rest of the evening on the laptop, answering email, updating the blog compendium and the Best Of posts, and writing up the Innovation post.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take any other photos in the Expo Hall or anywhere else today, so I'll rely on my Facebook Friend and SDGS colleague Diane Gould Hall for this photo (courtesy of Diane) in the Media Hub:

And another photo from Thursday in the Expo Hall, courtesy of Alona Tester, pictured with Thomas MacEntee and myself:

Onward to Day 3 of RootsTech - Friday was very busy!!

Randy's RootsTech Recap - Day 1 (Wednesday)

Day 1 at RootsTech 2020 dawned for me in Chula Vista.  I left for the airport at 11 a.m., met daughter Lori at the airport baggage claim to tell her where the car was in the very full airport parking lot, and after going through a very thorough TSA patdown inspection (because I moved during the full body scan), I boarded the plane to Salt Lake City which left at 2:05 p.m.

After arrival at Salt Lake City at 4:55 p.m., I had to wait an hour for the Express Shuttle to the hotel.  So I had a deli sandwich at the airport for dinner.  The Express driver finally got me there, through Vivint arena traffic, at 6:30 a.m.  I checked in, dumped my bag, and walked the 6 blocks to the Salt Palace around 7 p.m.

The conference center was awash in young people, mainly 7 to 15, who were there as part of their youth groups to learn more about family history.  Some people said their were 20,000 of them.    It was loud and crowded, but I managed to see the layout of the Expo Hall and found the Media Hub.  Managed to find Cousin Russ, DearMyrtle and Gordon Erickson at the Family Tree Maker booth.


The place closed down at 8 p.m. and Gordon and Pat dropped me off at the hotel.  I set up my laptop, read email and blogs, and added to the RootsTech blog compendium and tried to go to sleep.  Failure...until midnight.

Thursday was going to be my official start at RootsTech.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- RootsTech!!

It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 


Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1)  Have you gone to Rootstech? If so which years?  

2)  Describe your experience.

3)  Who was your favorite speaker?  

4)  Did you talk with any genealogy "rock stars"?

5)  What was something you learned that you use over and over?

6)  Describe something you enjoyed in the vendor area.

7)  Do you watch the streamed classes live? 

8)  Did you visit the Family History Library?  Describe your experience.

9)  What was your favorite Salt Lake City experience not genealogical related? (A restaurant, a landmark etc.)

10)  What was a pleasant surprise about your visit that you did not expect?

My thanks to reader Jacquie Schattner for creating this list of questions!!

My responses:

1)  I have been to 8 of the 10 RootsTech conferences to date - 2012 through 2018, and 2020.

2)  I usually hang out in the Media Hub in the Expo Hall and blog, or talk to friends and colleagues, and wander around talking to vendors.  I don't attend many classes.  Before 2019, the classes were a challenge to get into.

3)  My favorite speaker was probably Jay Verkler of FamilySearch in 2012.  I wrote about that earlier this week.

4)  I know many genealogy "rock stars" and talk to many every time I'm at RootsTech.  This week it's Blaine Bettinger, David Lambert, Roberta Estes, Marian Pierre-Louis, DearMYRTLE, Cousin Russ and many more.  My "rock star" criteria may vary from yours!

5)  Hard to say what I've used over and over.  Showing RootsTech photos on my blog and on Facebook?

6)  In the Vendor area, I enjoy talking to companies sith new products and get demonstration of their products.  

7)  I watch the live stream classes at home during the conference if I am not there in person, and watch them after the conference at home if I attended RootsTech.

8)  Every year until this year I have gone to the FHL to do research a day before the conference.  I didn't this year because of my limited time here.  In past years, I made a to-do list, concentrated on microfilm only collections not available from home, downloaded images to my flash drive, and worked through them at home.  This year, I did go to the FamilySearch reception on Thursday night at the FHL which was great - met a lot of  famous people there.

9)  The most pleasant experience - genealogy or not - is the DearMYRTLE After Party at her home with 30 to 40 other genea-bloggers and friends.  This is always fun and has been a bonding experience for all of us.

10)  The biggest surprise was last night - at the Geneabloggers Photo opportunity, I was awarded the second "Geneabloggers Lifetime Achievement Award" by the GeneaBloggers organization.  Also a lifetime membership in the GeneaBloggers organization.  I was almost speechless... but prattled a bit.  Thank you, GeneaBloggers.

===========================================

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a program to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping us out here!

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
