RootsTech Day 1
Thur. March 5, 2026




Announcements & Sales

MyHeritage introduces Scribe Ai

Ancestry has some great deals going on if you need a subscription, DNA tests, ProTools or Digitization. Check out the deals at this page.  

New Features(rolling out to accounts)
  • Record & Document Transcription(excludes USDiscovery subscribers)
  • Get Ideas and Compare Census.--I've had the Compare Census feature for awhile and it is really nice to look at multiple year at one time.  I briefly had the Ideas feature but found it glitchy.  They are working to improve it and hopefully that will only get better.
  • AI Stories--(historical context) AI generated stories about the time period, occupation, location etc.
  • Hints and Person Page Updates to layout to streamline and improve workflow.
  • Tree Compare--Compares two trees to each other.
  • AncestryPreserve--Digitizing service.  You buy a box ship it to them and they digitize, documents, video tapes, film, cassettes, reel to reel etc. They ship them back to you and the digitized files appear in your  account at Ancestry.

FamilyTreeDNA has a listing of coupon codes that include some great deals on tests and upgrades

To find these and other great offers, check the Expo Hall

These were just the classes that I viewed.  There are many more available.  For more in-depth information on the day's events check out any of the classes or online expo hall at the RootsTech website.
