Rootstech is the largest genealogy conference in the world & will start on Wednesday February 8th until the 11th. Since the Rootstech genealogy conference began back in 2010 its attendance has grown every year. It caters to everyone from novice to expert.

I have had the opportunity to attend this conference twice - 2012 & 2015, and I had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this conference to everyone and you should take the opportunity to attend in person at least once.

This year featured guest speakers will be the Scott Brothers (Jonathan & Drew Scott) from HGTV's Property Brothers, Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss, LeVar Burton best known from Star Trek the Next Generation & CeCe Moore the famous genetic genealogist.

If you are unable to attend in person, they have select programs which will be streamed live. You can find the schedule here. All times are Mountain time.

About the author

Tim Firkowski

I have been doing genealogy research since 2002 & have worked full time as a Professional Genealogist since 2008. I specialize in Polish and American-Canadian Genealogy. As a member of APG, I was the 2010/2011 President of the New England Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (NEAPG). I have Certificates of Completion for studies in "Foundations of Forensic Genealogy" and "Advanced Forensic Genealogy Techniques". I have been a volunteer librarian at the local Family History Center, and a genealogy research consultant at “Ask the Expert” Ancestry Road Shows. I have traveled to Poland numerous times & researched in churches and archives. At conferences and special events, you may find me dressed up in my Sherlock Holmes outfit, or my Kujawy (the folk costume from the region in Poland where my ancestors came from).
