Airtable for Genealogy: Beyond Spreadsheets
Presented by Rudy Ramsey, Ph.D.
Thursday May 5th from 10:00 AM to Noon

In this presentation, Rudy demonstrates and teaches the basic use of Airtable, an online, visual relational database app, as applied to genealogy. At first look, Airtable is similar to a spreadsheet app, though Airtable is easier to use. But its additional capabilities give it much more power and flexibility and make it ideal for use in managing the complexities of genealogical research, including such things as timelines, cousin matches from multiple genealogical sites, locality research, correspondence and research logs, complex information about DNA matches and descendancy analysis.
