RootsTech's international online genealogy conference is returning for a second year, beginning 3-5 March 2022. The entire event is free and you just need to register in order to participate. Additionally, creating a FamilySearch account will help you to get the most out of all that RootsTech has to offer. Learn more about the free apps, how you can connect with new-to-you relatives, and other features like the Expo Hall and keynote speakers on the website.
As with last year, I've recorded two presentations, designed to help genealogists researching Scots ancestry. Get a sneak peek of their content below.

Where Are My Poor Scots Ancestors?
Applications for poor relief in Scotland were well documented from the mid 19th century onwards, under the 1845 Poor Law. Information recorded about claimants included details of their birth, family, and employment, plus much more. Check out this presentation and find out how Scottish poor relief records can help you build your family tree.

There are plenty of free resources on ScotlandsPeople, the official government Scottish records website. Learn what these are, what kind of information they contain, and how they can benefit your research.
Once you've registered for the conference, search for the class sessions already on the RootsTech site. Build your own playlist from the hundreds available. The videos for the 2022 event will be freely available for at least twelve months, starting in March.
Check out my summary of the RootsTech presentations I gave last year; these are currently still available to watch.
