Belated Day 3 #NotAtRootstech

Live now! #NotAtRootsTech myself but watching Janet speaking. But if you missed it, you can download Janet's excellent handout and slides. #Genealogy www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech...

Name of the Week: Archibald Butter Minto of Edinburgh & New York, d. 1869. #Ancestry #GenHour #NotatRootsTech
#notatrootstech still look back with nostalgia at the one time #RootsTech was in London (Oct 2019). Online is okay and I'm grateful for it but in-person was just amazing
🫠 Have we melted yet? If you’ve been joining us in this Ride Along you must be exhausted. I know I am. With less than 24 hours left, get some rest for the final push to learn from the conference and capture the resources to dig into in the months to come (cuz that’s what it’s gonna take!) I’ve just updated the ridealongpartners.org page to include both general announcements AND your fine recordings and posts: Jennifer Jones, Bill Moore, Kyla Bayang, Our Growing Family Tree, Lori Olson White, Kathy Stone, Deborah Carl, Gwynn Socolich, MelRootsNWrites, and so many more…. (I’m channeling my days with the high-school newspaper here…) Two general news notes for the Home page. GROUP PHOTO: Did you miss picture day! That’s okay. I’ve got a nifty Dropbox to fix that. WATCH Parties 👀🎉 : Get in on this. Two more for tomorrow. And… a last minute calendar change: DearMYRTLE joins me tomorrow in my own last RideAlong livestream for the week. We’ll attempt a wrap up for all this. Everything else is on the /events calendar! Unfortunately, Taneya Koonce couldn’t make it, but I’ll get a rain-check for a future livestream. She’s amazing, stay tuned for that.

Watching @yourdnaguide.bsky.social give us DNA swim lessons! #notatrootstech #rootstech #genealogy
Added benefit of #rootstech and #notatrootstech tags is that I've found more #genealogy and #familyhistory bods to follow on @bsky.app 👏😁👏
My esteemed Ride Along Partner, #DearMYRTLE, @dearmyrtle.bsky.social, sharing insights on blogging and storytelling from the show floor at RootsTech in Society Hall #1600 in the Salt Palace conference center.

Right back at ya, my friend. 🥹 In the stream of consciousness, sometimes you need to do a little mud larking. (Does one lark in the mud? Asking for a friend.)
From mud larking to the tea ceremony. Big ideas.

That thing where you're taking a work break & decide to do a little bit of genealogy research & find a hospital record that reads "Gen. orchitis" & Google & then fumble wildly for the close-window button before anyone else sees the oh so helpful explanatory diagrams. LOL #notatrootstech
Day 2 #NotAtRootsTech
- Talk that encouraged me to try again: FamilySearch Full-Text Search by David Ouimette
- Most engaging talk: What's New at #Ancestry by Crista Cowan (despite first 'new' thing coming 30 minutes in)
- Best tip: Handouts and Slides are often available even for In-Person talks!
When a conversation begins "I have to tell you about time travel" you know it's going to be good. What a fun conversation with @simondmd.bsky.social. Watch for the recording with detailed notes within a couple of hours.

#NotAtRootsTech #Genealogy Good tip...and look for any handwritten changes that might shed light on the contents or change the clues you follow up on! Can you determine who made the edits? Bonus points because can affect credibility #FamilyHistory
#NotAtRootsTech: Day 2, Session 1 - with Ric Murphy, Donna Michelle Santistevan, and Nikki Williams Sebastian!
7:00 AM PST

#NotAtRootsTech #FamilyHistory Watched this 'club' talk and downloaded the handout, very intriguing to think about finding ancestors in documents/photos/news items/materials of a social or civic organization!
I planned my entire Rootstech schedule and realized that I hadn’t clicked the online only button. 🙃 #NotAtRootstech
Haven't watched anything yet. Compiling a TBV list for later. #notatrootstech
First year that I've broken away from the #NotAtRootsTech club and arrived to SLC in person at #familysearch' s #RootsTech conference! First day in the books (side note: I'm exhausted but having fun).
Day 1 #NotAtRootsTech. Not seen many talks live because of timezone but really enjoyed Diane Elder’s talk on negative evidence.
Oh my, Kirsten, THIS is exactly what this whole “Skybridge” idea is all about. A generous mixing of stories, insight, and process across the borders forced by our platforms.
It’s a delight to add this to the RideAlongPartners.org/posts site tonight! Bravo!

What's new with Ancestry? Crista tells all at #rootstech #notatrootstech www.familysearch.org/rootstech/se...
Thanks for recommending. #notatrootstech
Learning that Ancestry has transcribed all 2.4 million Revolutionary War pension files makes me want to scream after having transcribed a 70-PAGE FILE just a few months ago. 😩😩😩 #NotatRootstech
Don't get me wrong, it's amazing, but also, WORST TIMING IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
#GenHour Thanks all for chatting, and I hope everyone who is at #RootsTech or #NotAtRootsTech who have the spoons for dealing with RT is having fun.
I’ve read several good reviews of Janet’s talk, it’s top of my watch list tomorrow - not managed to see any of #NotAtRootsTech today #GenHour
Day 1 #NotAtRootsTech
- Talk that made me want to immediately try out the method: 'Timelines for Genealogy' by @janetfew.bsky.social
- Most interesting talk: 'Victorian Burials' by Dr Michala Hulme.

Hi Jeremy. I’m having #RootsTech FOMO too from reading ppl’s posts. I already made the decision to not go to RT or #NotAtRootsTech b/c I *know* I’d get excited for 2 hrs to make a playlist & then never watch anything (nor read the handouts if I download any). But emotionally, I’m like you. #GenHour
Chrome, and I'm signed into FamSearch, saw chat on right of screen and clicked to join chat. Hope you can see it? Will check back soon, on lunch break #NotAtRootsTech
