The calendar has flipped to the month of March, which to me means the arrival of Spring, March Madness, an upcoming international meeting, and this year, following Rootstech from home. I already watched several of the sessions since Thursday's opening, and it's been really good. I am glad there is a virtual option to view the sessions without having to attend in person.
The big family history players have rolled out some new features, databases and tools. Ancestry updated its AncestryDNA with a new DNA compare view. It's interesting to see who inherited what percentages, and an example below shows me on the far left, with my kids' percentages in the middle and right.

I haven't been researching much due to the return of in-person meetings and I've taken on a new role in my organization since the start of the new year. I'm interested to check out Ancestry's Storymaker Studio tool, which means trying out the Ancestry mobile application instead of only using it on desktop.
Most of the sessions appear to be recorded for later viewing, and there is a full schedule of live talks on tap for later today.
