It’s no exaggeration to say that I come across new and exciting technology tools almost every day. Whenever I explore a new app, online tool or website, I ask myself, “How could I use this for family history?” This is where things get creative, fun, and ultimately very genealogically rewarding! Here are some examples, which I’ll be talking about at NGS 2015:

Friday, 9:30a.m., F325–“Tech Tools That Catapult the Newspaper Research Process into the 21st Century” 
Newspapers can give us the inside scoop on ancestors’ everyday lives, big events and deaths. Learn to use online tools to find old newspapers (online or offline) and search them efficiently.

Saturday, 9:30a.m., S417–“iPad & iPhone Power User Techniques for Genealogy”
Move beyond apps and into power usage! Learn browser customization and discover little-known features, get organized, harness accessibility features, and perform Evernote genealogical tricks!

Free Outside the Box Mini Sessions
When I’m not speaking at one of my scheduled sessions, you’ll find me in the exhibit hall at booth #620 where I’ll be teaching loads of free “outside the box” mini sessions to further jump start your research. Topics like using Evernote and Google Search, as well as an exciting Google Earth for Genealogy Game Show (complete with prizes!) I’ll also be signing copies of my newest book The Genealogists’s Google Toolbox Second Edition.
