Quotes from our Booth Workers<\/strong><\/p>\n

While participating in RootsTech I had the pleasure of hosting in the Family History Guide booth in the Expo Hall.\u00a0 It is so easy to\u00a0share\u00a0the news of the Family History Guide.\u00a0 It is a powerful tool to\u00a0learn\u00a0how to do family history and engage our families and friends in family history activities and it is free to all!\u00a0 This was such a great\u00a0discovery for many, many people! – JH<\/p>\n

I had person after person say (some of them in tears), \u201cThis solves so many problems. This is just what I need. Why didn\u2019t I know about this before?\u201d There were many, many people who knew about and loved The Family Hisory Guide, but when I showed them a few more features they were jumping with joy! One said, \u201cI was always stopped with learning about FamilySearch.\u201d After I showed her the Come, Follow Me Companion, researching, and more, she was just ecstatic with the increased possibilities. I showed one person how to use Smile.Amazon.com<\/a> to make donations and he was so happy to know about it and said they would use that. -AT<\/p>\n

These past 5 days have provided a great opportunity for sharing The Family History Guide with total strangers. Each individual brought a bit different story of struggle, while trying to do much the same work as others. Every single soul that I had the pleasure of introducing The Family History Guide to, made the same kind of comment at the end of my introduction: our wonderful, useful product was the absolute highlight<\/u> of the entire RootsTech week. I had several individuals who were familiar with the website, but they had not realized that the Come, Follow Me Companion was available. Many individuals made remarks such as, \u201cHow in the world do you continue to add these incredible features?\u201d -PM<\/div>\n
