FamilySearch Announces RootsTech Connect 2021: A Free Global Virtual Event
FamilySearch is thrilled to announce that the RootsTech 2021 conference previously planned for February 3–6, 2021, in Salt Lake City, Utah, will now be held on February 25–27, 2021, as a free, virtual event online. RootsTech Connect 2021 will enable attendees to participate from around the world and will feature inspiring keynote speakers, dozens of classes in multiple languages, and a virtual marketplace. Visit RootsTech.org.
“The pandemic is giving us the opportunity to bring RootsTech to a broader audience worldwide,” said Steve Rockwood, FamilySearch International CEO. “A virtual event also allows us to expand our planning to truly make this a global celebration of family and connection.”
RootsTech Connect 2021 will be global in scope while offering many experiences that attendees have come to know and love from RootsTech events—including inspirational keynote speakers, dozens of classes to choose from, and an expo hall.
Throughout the three-day online event, attendees will have the ability to interact with presenters, exhibitors, and other attendees through live chat and question and answer sessions.
“Classes will be taught in many languages, and presenters will teach from a number of international locations,” said Rockwood. “We will celebrate cultures and traditions from around the world, with activities that the audience can participate in from home—such as homeland cooking demonstrations, storytelling, and music performances. This is one virtual event you won’t want to miss.”
RootsTech Connect 2021 will offer a combination of both livestream and on-demand content to accommodate differences in time zone for participants. In addition, sessions will be available to view on-demand after the event concludes.
Rockwood says that FamilySearch is looking forward to the opportunity to deliver the signature RootsTech experience and helping tens of thousands of participants worldwide to discover, gather, and connect their family story.
RootsTech hopes to gather in-person again in the future but anticipates the RootsTech Connect virtual opportunity will become a regular addition to the event.

Does anyone recall my parents - do you have a wedding photograph of them please ?
I would be pleased to receive any information .
My Dad had 1 older brother John William HOLGATE. My Mother had no sisters or brothers.
I am Ruth Reason. 2nd child of My Dad & Mum. my 2 sisters now deceased.. I was Mary Ruth Holgate. now just known as Ruth Reason. I look forward to news. Thank you.
I was widowed 5 years ago and 2 years ago I moved to the United Kingdom as I have British citizenship. I left my children and grandchildren behind as I came here to work. I have felt very alone here since my arrival.
I have a half-sister who lives here, whom I had not seen for 30 years as she had moved to the UK at the time I went to South Africa.
I have felt very disconnected and alone. Knowing there is a family out there can make a big difference to a person's mental health.
Thank you for this weekend.
