Tech Tip of the Month
RootsTech All Year
Gena Philbert-Ortega wrote an article that appeared recently in at GenealogyBank. It had great information on utilizing the RootsTech video library for year-round genealogy education.
Many of us took part in RootsTech earlier in March. But much of the educational content is available to us all year long. Take time to visit some of these great resources. You'll be amazed at what you can find.
