🌳 Clean Up FamilySearch With @Goldie May Subway Map 👉🏼kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJvLomaBi715j68

[@kathybanas7271]

I've always hated the thought of a research log, but this seems to be the perfect answer!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

I'm so glad I could introduce you to something that really makes research logs less of a pain in the rump.

[@marklazarus2584]

I am very new to genealogy research, as I am now the oldest child of parents. I have been using Find A Grave and I am trying to decide wether to get Ancestry, My Heritage or another subscription. I am fairly computer literate and I find your videos extremely encouraging and helpful. Thanks

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Welcome to the genealogy club. I would recommend you try out the FREE genealogy website that is FamilySearch. You can build your family tree (and likely much of your genealogy is already there) and you can access many genealogy records for free as well. Try out these videos to learn more. kzbin.info/aero/PLcVx-GSCjcdmTQWonBrjNsalbOCH6ZcWx

Thanks Devon! I'm excited to make screen shots of census record information and then have it saved in the Goldie May log.

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

I'm glad I could help you learn a new skill.

[@debbiehilliard45]

Excellent tool! Once again Family History Fanatics is making my research life easier. Thanks!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

My pleasure. Please share this video with others so they can learn about this awesome tool.

[@bettydees8639]

Thanks Devon! This looks Awesome! I'm constantly working on different devices, so this gives me a great way to track my work! Looking forward to trying it out!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Good luck. It does go across many devices IF it has access to Chrome Browsers. Some iPads do have challenges. But I work across three different laptops/computers at home. Then I go to libraries and use their computers. It's nice that I don't have to carry SD cards or some such thing.

[@justanothergigi]

Wow this is amazing! Thank you for the overview!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

You're so very welcome. It's my goal to share how to training on great tools.

[@josepharduengo8143]

I've been looking for something like that! Thanks!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

It was my pleasure to bring it to your attention. I hope you'll enjoy other videos on this channel for your genealogy research.

[@ajalicea1091]

Thank you for this information

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

My pleasure

[@ArtbyKimmer]

Thank you so much for this video I need to get better about cleaning up my tree.

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

You're not alone in that need. But, we do what we can. Good luck.

[@cathyc6725]

Best explanation I’ve seen! Thank you!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

You're very welcome! You made my day.

[@borreliaetc]

Thank you so much for this advice!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

You're very welcome.

[@margaretford1011]

Thanks for telling us about this!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

My pleasure.

[@catherinedaneliak2601]

I certainly agree with you that Goldie May is a wonderful tool and I highly recommend it. New features and improvements are constantly being added and Richard K. Miller, who developed Goldie May, is always very helpful if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you so much for this video. I would also love to see some videos on working through research projects using Goldie May, such as an over the shoulder view of the process.

[@joanthomas7079]

Yes yes please over the shoulder would be GREAT

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

That's a great idea. Let me see what I can do about a research over my shoulder with Goldie May. I might work with Richard to develop it for his channel as a collaboration.

[@geoffporter7859]

Thank you yet again for a very informative video. Can Goldie May be used also on websites that are based outside the U.S also?

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

If you can access a website through your Chrome browse, the answer is yes. You just have to start your session from a FamilySearch page. Then you can navigate within the same tab or open another.

[@Deanawat]

It let me sign into FS but not my other sites. What to do?

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Sign into the other sites? I'm not sure I follow. Goldie May does not have access to other websites. It only tracks what you open. So, you will have to log into other sites in the research window. Then Goldie May (in it's own window) will track your progress. Does that help clarify? If not, leave me a new comment (meaning, don't reply to this one), so I can see your response.

[@Deanawat]

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics I meant my Ancestry account specifically but I've contacted Richard. No matter what I tried, Ancestry and GM couldn't play together.

[@Historian212]

So, how does FS use this to follow our trail in our research? Too invasive for me.

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

FamilySearch doesn't use this to track your research. You use Goldie May to track your online research. I'm not sure that would classify as invasive unless I'm not understanding your point. If I am misunderstanding, start a new comment on this video so KZbin will let me know you replied. It's a funny platform that doesn't let me see replies. Only initial comments I haven't responded to.

[@ridif]

Does it work with Ancestry ?

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

yes and no. As explained in the video, you have to start from a FamilySearch profile. Then you can log ANY website, including Ancestry. So yes, it works with Ancestry. No, it doesn't only work with Ancestry or work from an Ancestry starting point.

[@juanitatipton7689]

Hello, I have a question. I am searching for a certain person but can't find them, how would I go about doing that?

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Oh wow. That's a difficult question because I don't know if the person is a live or dead. I also don't know what you know about the person. I have a few videos that talk about getting started in genealogy research. I hope you'll take a look at some of them. kzbin.info/aero/PLcVx-GSCjcdmx3tuunJC_oJ9Qq4bsRhew
