This Week’s Genealogy News:

OCTOBER IS FAMILY HISTORY MONTH!

There are hundreds of excellent genealogy programs coming up as societies, libraries and others celebrate Family History Month throughout the month of October. I’ve been scouring the internet like crazy trying to stay on top of all of the upcoming genealogy events, but if you know of any that I’ve missed, please either use the Submission form or email me the details or even just a link to the event, at info@conferencekeeper.org! I appreciate submissions more than you can imagine 🙂 (and I’m sure other genealogists will appreciate them too!)

REGISTRATION OPEN!

Registration for RootsTech 2025 opened this past week! They have a special gift for the first 1,000 registrants, however I’m not sure whether they’ve hit that just yet. It’s always a good idea to register early so that you get all of the updates and news as soon as it’s available, sent directly to your email. Online registration and attendance is completely free. In-person registration is $99 for a 3-day pass and $69 for just one day. I am really looking forward to attending this year in person, after having to miss this year’s event in Salt Lake City (due to surgery). You can find all of the details for 2025 (as well as the virtual content from 2024) at https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech

THINGEOLOGY CLOSING

I was informed this week that the personal archiving website Thingeology will be closing down on October 7. Thingeology offered a free personal archive where you could upload a photo of an object and include a written description of its history, provenance, and meaning to yourself or your family. If you already have a Thingeology account, you can log in, click your avatar in the upper right corner, and choose “Download All Data.” You’ll then receive an email with instructions on how to complete the process. Its very simple.

DID YOU KNOW THIS SHORTCUT??!

You can color me embarrassed, because I didn’t! In a discussion on calendars this past week, someone pointed out a feature on the ConferenceKeeper calendars that I quite honestly hadn’t realized existed, even after seeing it probably daily for the past eight years. It’s an incredibly easy way to save events from our calendar directly to your own online calendar (or to email, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Pinterest).

This is great of course for events you’ve registered for, but also incredibly handy for those that might not yet have registration forms available, are just at the “save the date” stage, etc. I usually save events of this kind twice — once on the day it is scheduled to occur, and another save on either the “Registration Opens” date or a week or two prior to remind myself to get registered.

< Click on any event on any of the ConferenceKeeper.org calendars to open up that event’s details. You’ll see this little row of icons just above the event title.

< To save to your calendar — Google, Apple, Outlook, Live, Yahoo or Other — click on the green icon that looks to me like a floppy disk (circled in red — most of you remember those, right?) The calendar options pop up.

From the options, you can add it directly to a Google calendar by clicking that icon, or save the details off as an .ICS file for other calendars. You could then also have your calendar send you a reminder when it’s time to register, or an alert an hour or so ahead of the event to help you remember! If I didn’t have a Google calendar, I’d probably use the “Email” option to send myself a reminder. I hope this is helpful!
