Randy's Day 2 (Friday, 3 March) #NotAtRootsTech2023

 I am not attending the in-person RootsTech 2023 conference in Salt Lake City this weekend (2-4 March), but I am attending virtually on the RootsTech 2023 website - https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/.

To prepare for the virtual event, I added a number of sessions to My Playlist for all three days, and there are other classes that were pre-recorded for RootsTech 2023.  The RootsTech 2023 On-Demand sessions are listed here.  

1)  Today, I watched a number of sessions, either the whole session or major parts of sessions:

*  CeCe Moore, Mitch Morrissey, McKell Keeney - Investigative Genetic Genealogy: A Conversation with Industry Leaders;   https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/session/investigative-genetic-genealogy-a-conversation-with-industry-leaders?lang=eng
