I Can't Attend RootsTech2 in Salt Lake,
But I can Follow What's Happening in Detail
Wow, I can't attend but it's like being right there.
I am following James Tanner's blog, GenealogysStar
Here is his bio: Born in Utah, but with family roots deep in Arizona history, James
has degrees in Spanish, Linguistics and Law. He has been involved in
various computer businesses and practiced law for 36 years. As a
genealogist, James serves as a volunteer and missionary at the Mesa
(Arizona) Regional Family History Center. He is married and has 30
grandchildren.
James earned a B.A. in Spanish and M.A. in Linguistics with a minor
in the History of the English Language, both from the University of
Utah. He holds a J.D. in Law from Arizona State University. James
practiced real estate law for over 35 years with an emphasis on trusts
and estate litigation. He has owned several computer businesses
including an Apple dealership and obtained various certifications as a
computer technician. He started the Arizona Macintosh Users Group. For
several years James taught at local community colleges, teaching classes
in Spanish, Law and Computer Information Systems. He has more than 25
years of experience researching genealogy and has served for many years
as a volunteer and a missionary at the Mesa Regional Family History
Center. James also teaches classes on computer program related topics
and has done extensive research in genealogy in many different states
and countries.
There are many other bloggers and it will be fun to "peek into" what they are writing during the day. I've already found out important topics including the release of the 1940 US Census, legislation on the Social Security Death Index that might remove this important genealogical tool from public use (they aren't letting genealogists testify! and are using scare tactics to get this passed (whats new?), FamilySearch is changing CEOs from a Technology Guru to a Business Guru (hmmmm, I love what the retiring guy did: like helping start the world talking about what's needed in last year's inaugural RootsTech Conference) and about new words and new organizations and how Dave Barney from Google says links are going to disappear.
