Grabbing the Next Generation in Genealogy
If you aren’t aware, this week is the RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Genealogists and tech gurus come together to discuss the future of genealogy and the tools available for three glorious days. However, don’t think that you have to be in the crowd at the convention center to enjoy the sessions and benefit from the ideas discussed. Thanks to the power of technology, RootsTech streaming video can bring you there. Because of this streaming technology, I was able to listen to an amazing keynote address given by three gentleman greatly admired: Dennis Brimhall, Syd Lieberman, and Josh Taylor. They were all engaging, informative, and inspiring. Here is my take-away: We need to grab the next generation.

Remembering Past Generations: The Women
March is Women’s History Month, and I plan on using it to appreciate fully the women who came before me (if I can keep up throughout the month!) Our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and cousins have all impacted our lives whether we recognize it or not. Eat a special family meal each holiday? It’s likely traced to one of your female ancestors. We can’t get away from their influence if we tried – but who would want that?

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: Minnie Varney Chapman
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to work on my own family’s history. I decided to throw caution to the wind and toss the work aside for a few minutes this weekend so that I could participate in Randy Seaver’s Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. Hosted over at Genea-Musings, Randy gives us a fun mission that’s part scavenger hunt.
