RootsTech 2017: Two Weeks and Counting

January 25, 2017 Alison Taylor

**Tom Taylor presenting at RootsTech a coupla years back. RootsTech 2017 takes place February 8-11 at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City.**

For us, the very best thing about February is RootsTech, the world's largest genealogy and family history conference. (If you don't know about RootsTech, you can read more about it in this post: Five Reasons to Attend RootsTech 2017.)

Book Highlight - A Military Family History

January 4, 2017 Alison Taylor

A stunning coffee-table book that tells the story of a multi-generational military family.

When we first met Jim Morrison at the UGA Family History conference last April, he was interested in having us create a book about his wife's family. We were fascinated as he described some of the history his father-in-law, Robert "Rip" Young, a two-star brigadier general in the US Army.
