No need to feel left out of RootsTech at all!

The worst thing about not being at RootsTech is not being able to meet and socialize with our genealogist friends.
So I’d say the Live Streams are the 2nd best thing for those #NotAtRootsTech.
The best thing is social media containing the live and shortly after experiences, photos, videos, interviews, and reactions to all that’s going on. Following and reacting to people you know who are there is the next best thing to being there.
Missing you and lots of folks like you, Louis!
Your Live Stream today from RootsTech was fascinating and very informative. My head is still spinning. I have already contacted several people letting them know it would be worth their time to listen. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the kind words!
