We’re at #RootsTech! Come stop by our booth and say hi! We have candy! (pssst, we also have a big sign up on an easel, with the first announcements of the records we’ve won lately but hadn’t announced yet…)

To all Find a Grave volunteers: If you ever find yourself taking photos of Jewish graves, PLEASE look at both sides and take photos of both.

Your cheerfully litigious friends invite you to come say hello (and eat some candy). #RootsTech #RootsTech2023
