FamilySearch Blog Month in Review

This past month culminated with #RootsTech 2016. It was a busy month for me and for FamilySearch. As I have done in the past, here is a list of all of the FamilySearch Blog posts I could capture during the month of January and leading up to #RootsTech 2016 in February. I you did not have a chance to attend #RootsTech 2016, then this is one way to get a glimpse of the Conference. Here is the list.
