RootsTech

5th year for RootsTech 

largest family history conference in the world! 

about 22,000 attendees from

49 states (where was West Virginia?)

37 countries

Morning keynote presentations and evening events are fantastic parts of RootsTech. Click here to read about the headliners. Friday morning Laura Bush spoke about family life before, during, and after the White House. 

Studio C and David Archuleta performed. Studio C is a sketch comedy show produced by BYUtv. They wrote a sketch specifically for RootsTech. In May 2008 Archuleta was second place on American Idol. 2012-2014 he was a missionary in Chile.  

Saturday’s keynote speakers were AJ Jacobs and Donny Osmond. Can you believe Donny Osmond is a grandfather! - and has been performing 50+ years! He’s the family historian for the large Osmond clan. 

about 300 sessions and almost 200 vendors

so much to see, hear and do and so little time :) 

It's always fun to run into people I haven't seen in ages

Reflections - It’s all about love. It’s all about family - on both sides of the veil. It’s all about God’s purpose for us and our time here on earth. Turning the hearts of the children to the parents and the hearts of fathers and mothers to the children - it's the whole purpose of the earth - it's all very real. (See Malachi 4: 5,6)
