I hope you’re all as excited for RootsTech this week as I am! If you’re new to genealogy and you’ve never heard of RootsTech, it’s simply the world’s largest family discovery event, which is taking place both on-demand and in-person in Salt Lake City, this Thursday through Saturday, March 6–8, 2025.

Unless you’re local to Salt Lake City, it’s probably too late to make plans to attend in person. However, there’s still time to register for the online event, which is free and includes over 200 sessions in more than 26 languages. The full schedule for RootsTech is here, which you can filter by skill level, speaker, and topic to find presentations that will be most helpful to you based on your research needs and interests.

I’m presenting two lectures which will be livestreamed from RootsTech. If you’re unable to attend live, you don’t have to miss out, because the recordings will also be available after the conference in the on-demand library, which currently includes more than 1,500 sessions on 185 topics in over 30 languages.

Did I mention that RootsTech is huge?

Here are my sessions:

Thursday, March 6, 2025, 3:00 pm MST: “Grandma Said She Was From Poznań: An Introduction to Polish Genealogy,” 255D.

Friday, March 7, 2025, 1:30 pm MST: “Using Gazetteers and Maps for Polish Genealogy,” Ballroom E.

I’m looking forward to seeing many of my genealogy friends soon!
