35 Getting Started Pass Classes at #RootsTech 2018
Beginning Classes and Getting Started Classes are not the same things. There are some great classes available for those just starting out in genealogy in the full Roots Tech registration, but if you want only Getting Started Classes, you'll purchase a separate pass for a discounted rate.
Before you sign up for the Getting Started only track, check out the class offerings and determine if there is enough to whet your genealogy appetite. Some of these classes are available on the RootsTech 2018 track with slightly varied titles. The widest class variety is on Thursday with 14 sessions.
And to be clear, a RootsTech registration does not admit you to the Getting Started classes and visa versa.
Below you'll find the RootsTech classes grouped by genealogy skill category. As you'll see my class, 5 Steps for Successfully Started in Family History fits into multiple categories, because it does and I really want every beginner to attend this class!!! There is an Ancestry.com class that also fits into two topics. I hope you will not be confused by my attempts to place the sessions in categories by skill to help you further decide where you need to focus your time to gain the best educational experience.
* Please note class times are subject to change or cancellation.
Devon Noel Lee will be teaching on the Getting Started Track.
We'll discuss preservation and tree climbing so you capture your family history for the living and the deceased.
STREAMED SESSION!
Several of the classes in the Getting Started Track will be streamed live, so you might want to attend other classes. Unless you'd love to attend a class live and then watch the replay when you go home.
CLASS LIST IN ORDER
For those who'd prefer to view the classes sorted by day and time, here's that list.
The classes bolded in black will be streamed. The class bolded in maroon is Devon's class- which is now offered twice!
Take a look at the RootsTech Comparion for the pass prices and benefits.
The Getting Started Pass is offered at a reduced price, but be advised that your scheduled workshops are fewer on Wednesday and Saturday. That would be a GREAT time to visit the Expo Hall and attend the mini-classes offered by various vendors. You can also visit the Family History Fanatics booth which will be near the FamilySearch Discovery Zone!
RootsTech 2018 will begin soon and is a great conference to feel the energy as a beginning genealogist.
