I set up a RootsTech project, trying to find all of the speakers on Geni. Please join and help out.

I was thinking of focusing on tree building for the keynote speakers.

Randy, have you invited to the project those who are already in the WFT (bold blue names)?

I try to invite anyone I find.

I infer that your answer to my question is yes, and that I should, therefore, not spend time re-inviting them.

1) I was able to hook presenters Warren Bittner, Michael O. Leavitt, Thomas MacEntee and Jimmy Zimmerman into the big tree.

2) Presenter Angela Walton-Raji's great grandmother is Sallile Crow Williams Walton profiled here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5023891

3) I will likely be able to verify Ron Tanner's profile and that he is also part of the big tree.

We're making some good progress. I found a bunch more today.

Naomi Megan Davis (Taza blogger) in the big tree. Mormon apostle ancestor.

Erica Howton , Send me a source or link for Naomi Megan Reid's family connections and I'll work on extending her to the big tree.

Steve Rockwood tree started

... Steve Rockwood is connected.

Randy Stebbing here is one of his Mormon pioneers, a "notable" --

Albert Perry Rockwood

I think I saw a Young whizzing by also. Have at it!

I did a lot of work on Steve Rockwood's tree and ran into lots of Mormon pioneers. I was also able to merge in some non-connected branches where there was overlap with his ancestors. The Young that you saw was non other than Brigham Young himself. FYI Rockwood is the CEO of familysearch.org

Re: .... Rockwood is the CEO of familysearch.org ...

Which is why he has a tree on MyHeritage? :)

Thank you, Randy. I could see there was a lot of potential in this tree but ran out of steam.
