Christine McCloud<p>Well, <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> ended yesterday. There is one more class I need to watch, since its livestream was down yesterday. Now I have to re-focus on <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/genchat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genchat</span></a> . <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>

Apparently they thought I REALLY needed to watch it. 🤣</p><p>Overall I think it went fairly well. I didn't encounter any of the major tech fails from previous years.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a></p>
Christine McCloud<p>Now that I know where my Polish great-grandfather was from, I can’t wait to poke around some of these Polish gazetteer resources! <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/NotAtRootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotAtRootsTech</span></a></p>

It's available, so I can catch it later. So far I have not lost anything else. Its too bad you lost your schedule. I did see people yesterday in chat commenting on schedule problems.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a></p>
IGHR Genealogy<p>Day 2 at RootsTech is well underway. Stop by booth 1905 to grab a course flyer and ask all the questions you have about why it is so important to take a genealogy institute course. IGHR Executive Directory, Cyndi Ingle, will be on Zoom at the booth at 12:30pm Mountain. <a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> <a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/IGHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IGHR</span></a></p>
Christine McCloud<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mindly.social/@bethroots" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bethroots</span></a></span> Did it disappear from the schedule altogether, to just your schedule? Yesterday, my Friday schedule went away &amp; I had to recreate it. <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a></p>

Sharonbw stands with Ukraine<p>Good morning! It's another windy day. Sigh. So many sustained days of this is unusual here, even for March. It makes walking much less pleasant. </p><p>I went out walking earlier than normal so that I can park myself in front of more presentations at <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a>. It seems I am more suited to walking when I've had more than 1 cup of coffee. After tomorrow I'll go back to my regular routine of using my walk as a break in my day rather than a jumpstart to it. </p><p>Have a fabulous Friday!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Today</span></a></p>
HistorySheWrote<p>There was a 7:30 AM session that was on my <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> schedule last night. This morning it has disappeared. I could have slept longer! Time to dive back into the options shortly.

Christine McCloud<p>I have zero plantation ancestors, but I’m listening to the wonderful Renate Yarborough Sanders about their records. You can always learn something with unfamiliar <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a> records! <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/NotAtRootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotAtRootsTech</span></a></p>
Christine McCloud<p>Though I can see it, I can’t get into the online chats on <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> talks. Gives me an error message. Oh, well.

Christine McCloud<p>I see that some of these scheduled <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/RootsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootsTech</span></a> classes are pre-recorded. Which means I can speed up the playback speed.
