Hi Jenna! The Flip Pal booth was three spots down from Family Roots Publishing. I’m sure Meitzler has a deal to sell the Flip-Pal, so Flip Pal was happy Meitzler was there. Either way, the Flip Pals were sold, so it was all good. I never met a lot of people because we all look different than our blogging or Facebook photo! Wish I had met you! Maybe next time we’ll add our photo to our name badge!

I saw the Flip Pal banner at a booth, but didn’t realize it was connected to another vendor. Did Flip Pal have their own booth next door to Leland’s booth? And how did I never meet you??

Thanks Judy! You seem to be on a roll as well with another mention on Randy’s list. Congrats!

Ooooh… I’m so glad you wrote about this. I can’t imagine a conference without book vendors… and can’t imagine that book vendors won’t change with the times — adding and subtracting from their toolkits — as we’re all doing. Glad to hear this was such a success!

Thanks Heather! Hopefully you can rest assured that there is hope for genealogists in a tech world.

I’m living RootsTech vicariously through the blogs, and you are the first person to write about the book ruckus that had everyone so upset a few months ago. Thanks for keeping me updated on the book vendors. I’m so happy to hear that the book booth by Family Roots Publishing was so popular!
