[March 23, 2013: the CEO of MyHeritage, Gilad Japhet, had to return to Israel due to a death in his family, so my father, James Tanner, was asked to step in at the last minute and give a Saturday keynote presentation in his place. All the streamed presentations should be available at RootsTech. One that I particularly enjoyed was the presentation by Ron Tanner. It had quite a bit of Tanner content, including notes about John Tanner, and the use of Henry Tanner's entry on FamilySearch Family Tree as the example entry. Here is a pdf version of the presentation.]
RootsTech is a huge genealogy conference held in Salt Lake City, Utah, this year on March 21-23 (Thursday–Saturday). Our new blogger, James Tanner, is a popular lecturer on the genealogy circuit, and will present again at RootsTech.
