Take Advantage of These Special RootsTech and PA Birthday Offers

Hello Reader!

I am back from RootsTech and can confirm it is as fabulous as everyone says it is. If you go to one genealogy event in-person, my suggestion is RootsTech in Salt Lake City. The energy and enthusiasm of the over 15,000 people there will carry me through 2024.

To celebrate RootsTech and Pennsylvania's 343rd Birthday, I have some special offers for you. These all expire on Friday at midnight.

In-person Research Trips to PA Archives

PA Ancestors is doing 4 in person trips to archives in 2024. If you are interested in expert assistance in planning and researching, check out the dates and places below:

  • PA State Archives, Harrisburg - March 22nd
  • Eberly Special Collections, Penn State - March 28th
  • Detre Archives, Pittsburgh - June 20th
  • Historical Society of Pennsylvania - August 21st

Reserve your spot and save 33% with code PASUB33 before Friday March 8th. Each includes a planning workshop with research guide so you make maximum use of your research time.

Discover Your Ancestors Workshop

Ready to finally complete your research on your Pennsylvania ancestors using all the available records in the state? Work collaboratively with fellow genealogists over 3 weeks to make break throughs on your family tree.

Here's a review from Sarah, on of the January Workshoppers:

This workshop is my premier service and I only offer it three times in a year. The next offering begins April 23rd and I'd love for you to join us. You can save $100 with the code PANOW100 if you book your seat before Friday March 8th.

Curious what is happening with AI and genealogy?

While I was at RootsTech, I interviewed 6 companies who integrated AI into their products for genealogists. Learn about who they are and what they offer in this YouTube video:
