Ancestry On the Go: Ancestry App Suite
Ancestry App: Allows you to review hints on the go and / or just in your spare time. You can add pictures to the gallery of your tree and also tag people in your tree.
AncestryDNA App: Gives you a deeper look at your DNA results and is the fastest way to activate a DNA kit by scanning the code on the test rather than having to type it in. You can view the map and the Genetic Communities on the App. Also allows for easy sharing of ethnicity results. You can see DNA comparison and there is messaging within the app.
Peter Drinkwater talked about FindAGrave and the FindAGrave App. It's hard to believe that the site has been around for 25 years. You can browse the cemeteries, add photos and GPS coordinates.
FamilySearch App for Intermediate/Advanced Users—Todd Powell
Several great features on the app
Using multiple screens, descendency research, and Source linker are easy to do on the go using the FamilySearch App.
General Session featuring Emmitt Smith
Emmitt Smith told the story of finding his ancestors who came from West Africa to Mecklenhurg VA on to Cleveland Alabama and on to Pensacola Florida where Emmitt's story began. Be prepared to change and broaden your perspective.
Healing and Family History-The Emotional Side of DNA—Robin Wirthlin
Families that have been separated for various reasons can heal as DNA can reunite the descendants.
Unexpected results cam cause many emotions. It's not always a happy time. Time can heal many wounds.

Introduction to What Are the Odds? (WATO)—Leah Larkin
WATO is a sketch and share program that uses probabilities with DNA data to compare likely hypothesis for ways a targeted person is likely to connect to the Most Recent Common Ancestor that the DNA matches all have in common. I use this tool when I'm helping other DNA testers with their unknown lineage/relationshps.
RootsTech 2021 will be Feb 3rd-6th with registration beginning in September of 2020.
