I managed to register very early for the online RootsTech 2024 conference which means I was given a RootsTech2024 Insider badge. I've collected the English version along with the German and French in honor of my recent work researching my Huguenot descendant 3rd great grandma. I still need the church records from Fahrenwalde digitized Archion. Please, please let it be sometime soon.
Unfortunately, it is also a very important time here and my time this year will be limited because I've two birthday cakes to make -- one for tonight and one larger cake for Saturday.
My biggest RootsTech tip is: MAKE SURE TO VISIT THE VIRTUAL EXPO HALL.
There are so many specials, deals and savings during this conference. Simply register for the virtual version of the conference with your probably already established FamilySearch.org free username and password. Then you can take advantage of the many savings. Like on DNA, subscriptions, software, and many more -- oh, my. There are 120+ vendors this year.
My plans? I'm looking at the discount for some photo software. And maybe a few other things.
Here are some rare sales that I spotted. MyHeritage DNA is having its very rarely held, what genealogists call the "Grandfathered In" autosomal DNA transfer sale. Transfer your autosomal DNA data from another site (AncestryDNA, FamilyTree DNA, or 23andMe) and get all the DNA tools for free without paying the $29 unlock fee. This sale ends March 4, 2024.
Also, Family Tree Maker is having a sale on its to be released next version, Family Tree Maker 2024. There is a sale path for previous owners and new purchasers which pretty much lead to the same sale price, $29.95 which is a great price. For owners of versions 2017 and earlier and even new purchasers, you will get FTM 2019 now and FTM 2024 when it is released.
