I'm departing for Salt Lake City Wednesday and RootsTech2020. I will be one of the volunteers at the General Society of Mayflower Descendants' booth and be in the Pilgrims Procession during the General Session (which begins at 11:00 am) on Friday. Taking part in the Procession will be 25 Mayflower descendants wearing correct period garb (meaning no hats with buckles and colored clothing, not black.) Thank you to Joyce in Casa Grande, AZ for the yards and yards of linen and wool fabric and to Katie in Bethesda, MD for the loan of the Renaissance-period corset (which goes over the clothes) and thank you both for the advice and encouragement. Please stop by the General Society's booth on Thursday & Saturday to say hi or on Thursday if you want to catch me in my garb. (I will be the one in the tan skirt and dark brown jacket.) I will tweet out items of interest while there, so follow me @DoctorMaura and find out what RootsTech is all about. It's my first time attending and I'm very curious to see what all the buzz is about.
