What better way to begin 2023 than to host a RootsTech Giveaway! I may have one just for you! The pass retails at $98 for all three days of the conference held at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you’ve already paid to attend and you win, RootsTech will reimburse you. If not, enjoy a pass to attend this amazing conference.
The RootsTech conference is scheduled for Thursday, March 2nd through Saturday, March 4, 2023 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. This year’s theme is “Uniting.”
As I’ve mentioned, there are three reasons I enjoy RootsTech:
- Keynote addresses from individuals whose life experiences and successes are varied. RootsTech has brought in speakers from the tech industry, the science community, the writer’s circle, the political realm, the entertainment industry, the sports arena, the bloggers’ sphere and, of course, the field of family history and genealogy. I have never been disappointed.
- RootsTech offers a customized learning experience with over 200 sessions from which choose. I’ve heard in the past individuals lamenting because there were too many choices and the participants were placed with the difficult task of choosing one favored session over another. The good news is that if a session fills quickly, there is always another quality session to attend.
- The Expo Hall provides the greatest gathering of organizations, societies, and vendors to explore the latest in the field of family history and genealogy.
In addition to my initial three reasons, one cannot forget that the RootsTech venue, the Salt Palace Convention Center, is within walking distance of the FamilySearch Library. Prepare now to access some of the greatest collections on earth that will help you find your ancestors! There are about 600 reference consultants and volunteers from all over the world on hand to provide helpful assistance at no cost to you.
This 3-day pass allows entrance to the daily keynote addresses, your choice of over 200 RootsTech sessions, entry into the Expo Hall, and all of the evening events. This 3-day pass does NOT include transportation, lodging accommodations, meals, or any other expenses that you may incur.

The Single Leaf 
My mother’s maiden name is Smith. For reason I picked the Smith line to research and gave my sister the more unique Spruill line to search. Each generation of Smirth’s that I can verify to be mine is a HUGE TOUCHDOWN for me. I’m currently stuck on a John Smith born around 1760’s. In fact I got so burnt out I took a break but roots tech maybe the fuel to start that fire again.
