Five Great Productivity Tools for Genealogy

As genealogists, we are always looking to see how to squeeze more information out of a piece of data and more hours out of the day!

As our research world is impacted by technology and web-based services and related, it is important for us to try and keep up with tools (whether designed with genealogists and family historians in mind or not) that help us as we do our research, whether they help us be more thorough, more efficient, etc.

Until I read the post at GenealogyInTime Magazine Five Great Productivity Tools for Genealogy. I wasn’t even aware of the service called NameChk (read the article to find out what this service can do for you!).

The great thing is that these are generally available tools whose function is not limited to genealogy research.

On a related note, check out these Upfront with NGS posts on other tech tools that might be of help:




What productivity or tech tools have you found that really help you be a better genealogy and family history researcher?
