The next meeting of the Windham County Genealogical Interest Group will be held via Zoom at 10 a.m. this Saturday. The focus of the meeting will be the ongoing RootsTech workshop presentations.
RootsTech, a major global genealogical conference, was held online this year in February due to the pandemic. In its first week it attracted over 1 million visitors from 242 countries who viewed over 2,000 sessions. Although RootsTech Connect has ended, the conference lives on all year long, which means anyone can still watch the keynote sessions and educational classes.
Jerry Carbone and Wayne Blanchard will use part of the Zoom meeting to review a few of the sessions that they found helpful. Participants who are interested could also share some of their own experiences.

The next meeting of the Windham County Genealogical Interest Group will be held via Zoom on Saturday, Feb. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon.
The meeting is free and open to the public but will be limited to the first 30 people to register, which one can do at http://bit.ly/Windhamgen6. The topic of the meeting will be organizing genealogical research using checklists and logs. These tools are helpful in creating a family genealogy especially when building biographical sketches of ancestors. Jerry Carbone, Whetstone Brook Genealogy, will present some different research logs he has used in his research. Wayne Blanchard, genealogist and genealogy volunteer at Rockingham Public Library, will illustrate the purpose of the research log using his work about his 17th century ancestor who arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1639.
