RECAP:
Rootstech 2024 was a truly memorable event, filled with a wide array of classes and special highlights. One of the standout moments was Nancy Borowick's captivating presentation on her book, "The Family Imprint: a Daughter's Portrait of Love and Loss." Nancy shared the deeply personal story behind her project, documenting her parents' journey through cancer simultaneously. Her emotional storytelling and photographs moved the audience to heartfelt tears, as she vividly portrayed the highs and lows of love and loss.
The Pictureline booth at Rootstech featured Canon and Negative Supply, offering assistance to genealogy enthusiasts looking to digitize their family photos. Whether attendees had boxes of negative film rolls, slides, or printed pictures of their personal family history; we were able to provide knowledge and products to efficiently preserve and digitize their precious family memories.
It's events like Rootstech that remind us of the importance of honoring our family history and the stories that shape us.
RootsTech is the premier event to celebrate your heritage and other meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history and genealogy.
