Genealogy-specific tools

Projects: Organize your research into projects, each with an objective, subjects, and research plan. Great for client work or all your family lines.
Research log: Mark each item in your log as a positive or negative result. Write abstracts and comments. Search your log. Export it to a spreadsheet.
Automatic research log: Turn it on, then start researching. Goldie May keeps a list of all the sites you visit, rabbit holes and all.
Screenshots: Take screenshots and save them directly to your research log.
Citations: On known websites, citations are created for you.
Snapshots of your windows & tabs: Too many browser tabs open? Take a snapshot and save them for later. Let's call it rabbit-hole insurance.
Accessible from anywhere: Your data is stored in the cloud. Access your projects from the library, an archive, or your nearest FamilySearch center.
Subway Map: See where your ancestor lived over time with this unique timeline tool. See census and newspaper hints in context. See county and state boundary changes in context.
Newspaper coverage tool: See which newspapers ran when and where your ancestor lived and open them on the provider's website.
Canvas: Sort out tricky situations like pre-1850 U.S. censuses with this visual tool, as if you were sorting papers on your kitchen table.
Catalog of catalogs: See what collections the big genealogy and newspaper sites have for a given time and place and quickly go there.
Auto-search: Launch searches into census records, and quickly jump to the next and previous census for that location.

About & Contact

On a personal note, I'm a software developer who worked in tech roles at three genealogy companies. Now I'm building Goldie May to be the tool I want for my own genealogy research. I hope it's also useful to you!

Goldie is my great-grandmother's name and May comes from a beloved ancestor on my wife's side of the family.

If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you!
