Did you get to RootsTech this year?  We did!  Several members of SMCGS attended the online event and will present an overview of their favorite presentations.  

RootsTech 2022 is all virtual, which means you can watch it from home – any time. There are more than 1,500 sessions for you to choose. We’ll be reviewing the sessions we enjoyed, and showing you clips.
