RootsTech London Day in Review: Sharing Our Stories and Overcoming the Odds
Celebrating Our Stories
Today we heard powerful accounts about beating the odds, feeling connection to family and country, and creating our own stories.
General Session
World champion Kadeena Cox and FamilySearch International CEO Steve Rockwood inspired the RootsTech London audience as they shared stories of courage, faith, compassion, and connection.
Kadeena Cox shared, “I've been able to show people that setbacks don't have to define you. And I just used everything I've built from my upbringing to help me get to that point.”
What’s Happening Tomorrow
Known for hits on Broadway, the billboard charts, film, and most recently “The Donny and Marie Osmond Show” in Vegas, Donny Osmond will be our Saturday general session keynote speaker. Osmond’s successful career as an entertainer has spanned five decades. He is known internationally as a singer, songwriter, television series host, actor, and best-selling author.
Osmond has previously shared his love of family history on the RootsTech stage.
The Saturday, October 26 keynote address begins at 11:00 a.m.
