The Norwegian Saga Part 2 Day 2 Thursday At Sea For some reason, I didn’t sleep particularly well but it is lovely to watch the sunrise over the North Sea, at what was either 5.30am or 6.30am, depending whether or not one had already adjusted their watches. We are sailing with the Netherlands on our right, although the coast is too far away to be seen but we spot the occasional oil rig.

#RootsTech Roundup Part 3 Ok so it was Saturday but I am still on Friday’s talks. I was relieved to reduce my watch list by three as I had put reshowing of talks that I’d already seen on my list. Wanda Wyporska’s excellent ‘Caribbean and African Enslaved People and their British Enslavers: A look at sources’, was a great but sobering start to the day.

#RootsTech Roundup Part 2 News from yesterday. First the decision. Do I catch up on my unwatched sessions from yesterday or start today and fit in the missed ones as and when? Of course the ‘to watch’ schedule can only get longer as other people recommend things to  watch. As eleven of the twelve on my list for today were 3pm or later, I decided to start with today’s 3am one and then try to fill in, although I did have other things to do today, not least do a final run through of my own RootsTech talk for tomorrow.

My thoughts on more #RootsTech2026 presentations

Have you ever wondered if your ancestors could read? Have you ever wanted to know what they read? I'm joining the SoG on Saturday to talk about my journey of researching the literary interests of my ancestors! There'll be lots of methods for you to take away & try out for yourself! #Genealogy
