Talk:RootsTech

Seeing the TALK page wasn't started, let me begin with, "I understand that Laura Bush and her daughter will be guest speakers at the 2015 Roots Tech annual conference." Does anyone have specifics? -- AstroU (talk) 20:19, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

:That being said, this is not all that noteworthy, feeds into a recentism bias, and since Wikipedia is not a newspaper, I don't see how this helps this article. Instead I'd suggest digging into the following search results for some material that could actually help this article: [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asltrib.com+RootsTech&oq=site%3Asltrib.com+RootsTech], [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adeseretnews.com+RootsTech&oq=site%3Adeseretnews.com+RootsTech], [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aheraldextra.com+RootsTech&oq=site%3Aheraldextra.com+RootsTech], [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abyu.edu+RootsTech&oq=site%3Abyu.edu+RootsTech]. ^—Asterisk*^Splat→ 23:16, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

::Thanks. I'll put in a missing reference for the last sentence. -- AstroU (talk) 01:36, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Now that it is history, does a First Lady at Roots Tech warrant noting? Just asking, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 13:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
