Det blir vel ikke så mange nordmenn å møte i under Rootstech 2014 foruten de som skal være med på Norwegian Lag week, samt Finn og fruen. Men dersom man hjemme i Norge har lyst til å høre noen av foredragene, vil en del være tilgjengelig for gratis «streaming». Dette fungerte utmerket i fjor.

Følgende foredrag vil bli sendt ut over nettet via http://www.rootstech.org

Jeg hadde gleden av å høre Josh Taylor i fjor, han er utrolig bra. Han har også vært med i flere av «Who do you think you are» episodene, og han har vært med i «Genealogy Roadshow».  Anbefales! Flere kan kanskje også ha gleden av «Become an iPad Power User» – selvom jeg ikke har tenkt å høre på det…. men flere av disse foredragene er «internasjonale» – du trenger ikke å tenke på at «dette har ikke noe med norsk slektsforskning å gjøre»… dette som man ser, er mer om metoder og teknologi enn kilder osv.

Ved å finne nr. på foredragene her kan du så finne  materiale fra foredragsholderne her.
