315,000 (and counting) from 220 countries and territories! That's the number of registrations reported by RootsTech Connect yesterday. In its eleventh year, RootsTech has taken the conference completely virtual. The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) is pleased to be a society sponsor of this year's exciting and groundbreaking virtual conference and has posted the following new release.[1]
Join IAJGS at RootsTech Connect 2021
The IAJGS continues to assist in and promote the research of Jewish family history. The Jewish genealogy community remains a strong and vibrant force, even when we are not together. We continue to serve you with educational opportunities you can take advantage of from home.
Every year for the past ten years, RootsTech
has held the largest family history technology conference in Salt Lake
City. This year, for the first time
ever, the conference will be truly global, entirely virtual, and completely free. RootsTech Connect kicks off February 25-27,
2021.
The main stage presentations for this virtual conference will run around the
clock for the three days of the conference.
Videos of those presentations, and more than 1,000 additional
presentations, will be available through RootsTech on-demand for a year.
IAJGS Participation
Visit the IAJGS virtual booth at RootsTech. We will feature more than twenty, 5-20 minute presentations, featuring Jewish genealogy topics. In addition, there will be five additional educational resources in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Swedish, and Polish. Whether you are brand new to family history or an experienced genealogist, there are tips for all.
If you participate during the three days of the conference, there will be a Jewish Genealogist available for chat. There you can download a Jewish Genealogy Quick Start Guide and Jewish Genealogy Research Tips. You will also be able to explore resources from more than 90 Jewish Genealogy Societies around the world. If you are not able to attend during the three live days of the conference, the IAJGS virtual booth resources will be accessible for up to a year.

Comments on posts are always welcome but will be approved before posting. I actually prefer to just let people comment without going through this rigmarole, but I've recently had to delete some posts that I had not vetted before publication. So, please don't be offended. I love to hear from you!
