Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- RootsTech 2026 Is 6 Weeks Away!

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1)  Are you registered for RootsTech 2026 yet?  It's less than six weeks away - March 5-7, 2026. 

2)  What are you looking forward to either attending in-person or online?  What keynote talks, classes, or other events are you planning to attend?  For each day, list at least one class that is a "can't miss" for you. At present, there are 206 online classes lsited, but some are foreign language Keynote talks and replays.

3)  Share your RootsTech 2026 plans in your own blog post or in a Facebook, SubStack, BlueSky or other social media post.  Leave a link to your post on this blog post to help us find your post.

Here's mine:

I am attending online again this year because of my health and physical state.  I have registered.  

I'm not a big fan of the Keynote talks except for those by the major companies - FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeritage. 

I usually check out the offerings online of the Expo Hall exhibitors - they often have videos about their new products and sometimes have reduced price offers.  New exhibitors and their products are of major interest to me.

I often check out the "Relatives at RootsTech" feature online to see if I am a cousin to other attendees.

The classes that are "can't miss" for me each day include:

A)  Thursday (5 March): 

• The GPS in Practice: Examples of Reasonably Exhaustive Research by Angela Packer McGhie
• What's New At Ancestry by Crista Cowan.
• DNA Evidence Analysis with AI by Nicole Dyer.

B)  Friday (6 March):

• Your AI Toolkit: Essential Tools for Family History Success by Laryn Brown.
• Getting to Know Your Ancestors & Telling Their Stories: Tips for Connection & Sharing by Jana K. Greenhalgh, Natalie Hill and Katie Stull.
• From Discovery to Proof: Crafting a Genealogical Proof Argument by Stephanie O'Connell.

C)  Saturday (7 March): 

• Wanted! Seeking the Identity of Unknown Parents by Dana Palmer
• The Future of AI in Genealogy by Dave Vance, David Ouimette, Diana Elder, Mark Thompson, Steve Little

Of course, I have other classes already on my schedule too. I can watch most of them all year long.

After the conference is over, I check out the In-Person classes to see if there are syllabi for classes  that I'm interested in but could not attend in-person.
