Thank You so much. I have learned so much already that I never knew.
There were some stuffs that I learned in the workshop so I was ready to try it own my self. Since I really wanted to learn so I made a shot in doing it. Turns out well and all I need to do is a couple more of tweaks. And also the discussion about impromptu was great because so many contributed about there ideas and thoughts.
The one I really want to watch is on at a time I will be away from the computer. Will it be replayed?
We haven’t been able to see anything yet!
I’m talking about the live stream/facebook site, not working correctly.
[...] Ancestry.com LIVE @ RootsTech 2012: Watch It Live for Free! [...]
I have been watching at RootsTech and it’s not the same content as promised here.
you let people who have no connections to a family what so ever post stuff on families they are not kin too..its an invasion of privacy… if I wanted my info made public I would do it myself… its not right that you people do not research your members ..they shoud have to prove they are connected to a family anf that tere are no living relatives before its published as their own…
Thank You so much. I have learned so much already that I never knew.
Thank you for a peak into the preservation of family records, pictures etc. Currently working on my own “Extended family Tree”. We post the living, to connect to the past. The living in genealogy are protected on all public web sites. Records found are public knowledge, with a fee or Free! I will not be around in 2060, but my descendants will have access to their Ancestors via the insight of the 2012 conference. Again, Thanks!

With the advancements in both medicine and technology, I *might* make it to 2060 and be able to see myself on the 1980 census- although I would be 117. *GRIN*
