RootsTech Family History & Technology conference is being held in Salt Lake City this week, Thursday through Saturday. Five sessions will be available live online each day. To view a session live, go to the RootsTech web page at RootsTech.org when the session is starting. There will be a link on that page. The sessions will also be recorded and made available later.
The following table lists topics, speakers, and times (MST). I’ve also added to each topic title a link to the document for that talk, indicating whether it’s in PDF or Word. A second annotation indicates the skill level: all [a], beginner [b] or intermediate [i]. Each session is one hour long so I’ve only given the start time. Enjoy!
