RootsTech Giveaway - Things to do in Salt Lake City, Utah

It’s my first year going to Roots Tech in Salt Lake City and I am so excited! Roots Tech has been on my radar for a few years as the largest family history event in the world. As a blogger and a wanna-be genealogist, this conference combines many of my interests. There’s something incredibly special that comes from knowing and sharing our personal and family histories.

At our Sunday night dinners with extended family, we have been playing family history jeopardy (leave me a comment if you want the details!)  As we retell our favorite family stories and even sing a few of the silly songs that have been passed down through the generations, I am thrilled to watch my little ones drink it all in.

#RootsTech - World's Largest Family History Conference

Have you seen the amazing list of speakers and entertainers lined up? Former first lady Laura Bush and her daughter Jenna Bush Hager are keynote speakers along with Donny Osmond. The opening social features one of my Youtube favorites Alex Boye and the One Voice Children’s Choir. My daughter and I were recently in the World’s Largest Living Nativity with Alex Boye and it was amazing!

As if that is not enough, the closing social will feature David Archuleta and BYU’s popular Studio C. I am excited to be participating in the Family Discover Day on February 14th with my daughter. As a child I remember being fascinated hearing my family’s stories and I want my daughter to feel the same way.

With over 200 classes over the 3-days, there is sure to be something for everyone interested in family history. There are a variety of pass options available for one day to three day.  I am excited to be giving away a 3-DAY PASS to one of my lucky winners!

With 200 classes to choose from, how can I go wrong! I am new getting back to doing Family History after a long break. And I can’t believe the changes that have been made in the last few years. You can literally do family history in your pajamas from your home. The technology is amazing now! And that is what Rootstech is all about. I want to learn how to use today’s technology to make the best use of my family history research time. Thanks for the giveaway!

We dabble in family history every couple of years.
We got as far back as the 1600’s last time and it was really interesting to see where in this great big world we came from.
You should learn a lot!
