SUWANEE, Ga. - Feb. 21, 2021 - PRLog -- For the first time in its 10-year history, RootsTech will be entirely virtual and completely free to the entire world. RootsTech Connect will be held on February 25-27, 2021.

RootsTech, considered to be the largest family history conference in the world, is hosted by FamilySearch, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to helping all people discover their family story.

"I am excited about this remarkable opportunity to learn about and celebrate our families and heritage," said Jared Nelson, president of the Sugar Hill Georgia Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "In a time that is marked by loss of loved ones and loss of opportunities, this virtual conference is open to everyone and is an incredible blessing to gather, learn and share as a local and global community."

This year, presenters will teach from international locations, and all experiences will be available in 11 languages. Keynote speakers include Mexican golfer Lorena Ochoa, Australian motivational speaker Nick Vujicic, Indian American actor Erick Avari, South African band Ladysmith Black Mambazo and former professional football players from Uruguay and Brazil.

There will be nearly 2,000 classes offered in a variety of categories, including:
● Finding Living Relatives
● Finding Ancestors
● DNA
● Places, People, & Research
● Memories – Stories, Photos, Videos
● Traditions and Heritage
● Websites, Tools & Apps

In addition to classes, there will also be a virtual Expo Hall. Companies and vendors from around the world will be helping users make personal and family discoveries through a dynamic and interactive expo hall experience. Users will be able to see the latest in new product demonstrations in a virtual demo theater, get hands-on instruction and receive personal assistance.
