Someone asked on an earlier post about how I found cousins at RootsTech. It's through an app on the Family Search site that looks for Relatives Near Me. You are then free to send them a note on the app to see if they would like to connect. I met this sixth cousin from Florida on Saturday. We share a common Duff ancestor.
I've looked through my notes from three days of classes at the RootsTech Conference in Salt Lake City and decided on some projects/goals for the upcoming year. The important next step is to prioritize these goals. I'll leave that for another day.
Takeaways and Projects from RootsTech 2025:
- Have a focused research goal - Great Grandma Rebecca Cruzon?
- Finish two in-process writing projects - Storyworth Book & Storied Book
- Add more photos to Family Search Memories
- Add ancestor stories to Memories on Family Search
- Visit the Family Search Library in Salt Lake City
- Practice the skills from Dana Palmer's classes
- Schedule regular time for research at the Family Search Center
- Utilize the newspapers.com site. (I have a six month subscription.)
If you have an interest in genealogical research, many of the classes are or will be available soon at the RootsTech site.
What a cool project - I know very little about the vast world of family geneology, but it's clearly your passion! And what a good practice - leaving a conference with some clear commitments to next steps and actions. Now THAT is a good writing habit!
