She stays busy researching for clients and speaks to groups, small and large, in and out of Texas—usually virtually now. Patti presented two sessions at RootsTech Connect 2021; in 2020 she presented several sessions for the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS); and she has spoken several times at Texas State Family History Conference.
