[Csaladtortenet 2] Hunyadytól / Invitation to RootsTech Connect, February 25-27, 2021

[Hunyady László]

Tisztelt Kutatók!
Ma reggel abban a megtiszteltetésben volt részem, hogy az FS területi 
felelősünktől Mr. Engbjerg Torben úrtól az alábbi levelet kaptam a 
RootsTech Connect on line konferenciára vonatkozóan. Ebből megtudtam, 
hogy febr. 25.-én hajnalban 5 órakor indulnak az előadások főként angol 
nyelven. Továbbiakban, hogy engem levéltárosnak tart, ami valószínűleg 
annak köszönhető, hogy 2013-ban az FS nyerte az „Év Kutatóhelye” díjat 
és ebből az alkalomból Bp.-re jött a díjat átvenni és egy jó hangulatú 
ünnepi vacsorán részt venni. Megtudtam, hogy a Finn Nemzeti Levéltár 
főigazgatója egy hazánkfia Kecskeméti István, valamint az előadások 13 
nyelven folynak és eddig 250 ezren regisztráltak.
Itt nemcsak regisztrálni lehet, hanem alul pdf. kiterjesztésben az 
előadások listája is olvasható: https://www.rootstech.org/?lang=eng 
valamint itt pedig megtalálhatók a német nyelvű előadások:

Jó lenne, ha közülünk valaki, aki tényleg jól beszéli az angol nyelvet 
előadást tartana a magyarországi kutatási lehetőségekről. Biztos lenne a 
siker és rákerülhetnénk a térképre. Ahogy elnézem az előadások listáját 
bárki jelentkezhetett előadni.
üdvözlettel,
Hunyady László




Dear Hunyady László.

You are hereby invited to attend the RootsTech Connect virtual 
conference taking place from February 25-27, 2021.  RootsTech is the 
largest annual genealogical conference in the world.  You may be aware 
that RootsTech conferences have been held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, 
for the past ten years, at which participation has grown steadily from 
year to year, now with nearly 100,000 participants the past couple of 
years.  The first RootsTech conference outside the United States was 
held in London, England in November 2019, and had close to 10,000 
participants.

RootsTech is of special interest to family researchers, or anyone who is 
interested in putting together their family tree with names, dates, 
places, pictures, voice recordings, and stories.  However, this separate 
invitation reaches you as an archivist, as you are one of our close 
connections.  We have parts of the RootsTech conference prepared 
especially for you, with the intent of covering items of special 
interest to the archival community.

In the attached you will find the overview and registration for two 
important events that we think would be of special interest and benefit 
for you:  an *Archivist Global Session*, taking place on Thursday, 25 
February from 5 to 8 p.m. Central European time, and an *Archivist 
European Roundtable*, taking place on Friday, 26 February starting at 10 
a.m. Central European time.  Both of these events are free of charge, as 
is any participation in any of the events taking place during the three 
days of conference.

Please see the attachment for further information and registration.  
Please also feel free to share this email and the attachment with anyone 
within your organization you think might have an interest in 
participating.  At these sessions prepared especially for archivists you 
will have colleagues from various parts of the world sharing further 
insight and inspiration, as to ways in which the online archival records 
can be used.  These sessions will also give you a chance to ask questions.

Due to the pandemic, there will be no RootsTech in-person conference 
this year. However, we have taken our current situation as an 
opportunity for anyone interested to participate in a virtual RootsTech 
conference, held for the first time, and we have named it RootsTech 
Connect.  So far we have more than 250,000 attendees signed up from 
around the world, with more signing up every day.  You, your colleagues, 
and any of your family and friends are invited to attend the hundreds of 
classes and special events which will be part of the general sessions of 
RootsTech Connect.

Attendance at RootsTech Connect is free of charge.  I hope to see you 
there.  Please see the attached information/invitation sheet.  Signing 
up for RootsTech Connect is very simple, using the steps explained in 
the attached.

The main language of RootsTech Connect will be English, but most of the 
events which are part of the 3-day conference will also be in 12 other 
languages.  Some of the individual classes are in even more languages.  
And again, participation is free of charge for everyone.

As an archivist in one of the archives/countries to which I have been 
especially assigned, and if you decide to sign up for any or all of 
RootsTech Connect, would you mind sending me a brief email letting me 
know that you have signed up, so that I can better assist you and make 
sure you get the best experience.  My email address is 
torben.engbjerg at familysearch.org 
<mailto:torben.engbjerg at familysearch.org>, or you can call me at +45 29 
17 18 30.

I hope to see you online at RootsTech Connect, and if you have any 
questions, please let me know.

My sincere best wishes to you,

Torben.
