Satur- I mean, Sunday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Favorite RootsTech 2025 Class

  From Randy (my cousin) over at Genea-Musings:

it's Saturday  Sunday Night 
time for more Genealogy Fun!!!


Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1)  'Twas the week of RootsTech 2025, and all through the house, the genealogists were checking their RootsTech schedule.  What class did  you absolutely love this week?

2) Tell us about your favorite RootsTech 2025 class in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post.  Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

Here's mine:

I was NOT ready to write a blog post about this last night.  I was exhausted, and I stayed up until midnight for my last class... and the technology still wasn't working.  I gave up and went to bed.

But it's a new day today.  I caught up on some house chores, took my mom to lunch, and then took a three hour nap!  I'm recharged!

For those of you that missed them, I summarized my days at RootsTech 2025 here:


(By the way, Randy Seaver recognized my posts about RootsTech 2025 on his Genea-Musings blog as one of the best Genea-Blogs of the week!  I am full of happy and pride right now!)

My favorite class would be  AI-Powered Transcription of Handwritten Documents: Tools and Techniques with Nicole Dyer.  She explained using different artificial intelligence platforms and large language models (LLMs) to transcribe old handwritten and printed documents.  I am so excited to try this out!



My next favorite class would be How Can Artificial Intelligence Assist Family Historians by Andrew Redfern.  I loved this class.  Andrew explained things so clearly, gave great live examples, and made AI less scary. 

Another conference in the books. I have a long to-do list, both on paper and in my head, of things I want to look into or try that I heard about at RootsTech 2025.  I will be super busy for awhile!
