Free Family History Research Help During RootsTech 2021


I recently saw the exciting news that there will be free family research help as part of RootsTech 2021: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/RootsTech_Connect_Research_Help. You can receive help in two primary ways:

Group sessions, which will be held generally between midnight and 7am Japan time, are being offered on the following topics:

  • British Isles
  • Nordic Countries
  • Asian Countries
  • Germany
  • Latin American Countries
  • US and Canada
  • FamilySearch Research Wiki
  • Digital Library
For the personal online consultations, the point is to get more customized help so there is a huge variety topics you can choose from. Consultations, which are mostly available in the mornings Japan time, are offered in four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese (presumably Mandarin). One extra fantastic part of this opportunity is that the online consultations are available between February 18th and 28th!!! I hope many people will be able to take advantage of this great opportunity.

I felt empowered after learning from professional genealogists. I'm excited to dig in and use my new resources and leverage my new knowledge; I'm sure both will help me for years to come. I am SOOO glad I choose to participate
