Thursday: RootsTech Livestream Schedule
No plans for Thursday. It’s never too late to add some of the live streamed lectures from RootsTech. My Plan for the day is probably the DNA session from MyHeritage. Though I have had my DNA out there for some time, I am always hoping to pick up something more.
