Rootstech London 24th-26th October 2019
Kadeena Cox |
The venue was excellent with separate enclosed classrooms. There were 150 different classes aimed at all levels over the three days and the subjects ranged from DNA to Welsh research and creating research logs to migration.
Each class was very well attended, with some being so full that they were turning people away. A number of the classes were recorded along with the keynote speakers and they will be added to the Rootstech website https://www.rootstech.org/video-archive
Tre Amici |
Friday's speaker was Kadeena Cox a British Paralympic Athlete. She was amazing with the determination that she showed and how she got this determination from her mother and grandmother. Kadeena talked about how this determination helped her when she had a stroke and then being diagnosed with MS. We also had on Friday evening entertainment by Tre Amici, who were brilliant.
Donny Osmond |
Saturday's speaker was the Donny Osmond. He spoke about his family and how important it was to record everything that happens to ourselves for the future. He also talked about how he got into show business and sang Puppy Love and Moon River in memory of Andy Williams.
The exhibition hall was busy on all three days and there were a wide variety of vendors. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was great to meet up with so many friends and meet new people. I have learnt a lot, and I hope FamilySearch will decide to bring Rootstech back to London in the very near future.
