Deborah Carl · Your Family Quest

One year, I signed up for about 100 sessions. That year, they had a lot of 20-minute or less presentations, and I made it through about 90 during the three days. Last year, I was busy with the 30 days of female ancestors, and I ended up watching most everything from the on-demand library. This year, I’ve signed up for 25, and I expect I’ll be able to watch them all during the three days, but because of overlap, I won’t be able to watch them all live.

Updated 5 March 2026 — They made some changes and I’m up to 32 sessions.
