With so many things cancelled this past year, I am looking forward to attending…albeit virtually…the 2021 RootsTech.  RootsTech has gone global with this year’s online event.  My understanding is that you can watch 24 x7, the better to accommodate all the global time zones.  They have key speakers from the main stage and genealogical sessions to help us all learn and grow our family trees.  You can view the main stage information here and read about all the courses available in this PDF.
All of this is free.  If you haven’t yet, you can register using your FamilySearch login or complete your registration information at their site.  RootsTech is February 25-27.  Enjoy this learning opportunity!
