iFamily History: People to meet at RootsTech

You never know who you are going to meet at RootsTech. Come this February and see who you meet.

I saw cousins, instructors, new and old friends at RootsTech 2019.

The guy on the right was sitting by me in a session of some friends. He suggested we check to see if we are related. And we are 9th cousins!!

Do this at every session and of course take selfies when you find a cousin!

About Lianne Kruger

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.
