A search for Rootstech on geniaus.blogspot.com will dredge up my posts from SLC. <br /><br />Now I am getting ready for Rootstech 2012 and am similarly excited.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27813989515314377962012-01-07T16:14:36.059-08:002012-01-07T16:14:36.059-08:00I became aware of who my Danish great-great-grandp...I became aware of who my Danish great-great-grandparents were from a Danish cousin happening upon my regular 'ancestor story' blog while surfing the Internet.

A number of records pointed me in the right direction, then a private cemetary suggested three different women.
