Description

More Genealogy in Less Time

Goldie May is genealogy research software to accelerate your research, sort out tangles in your family tree, and keep you more organized.

It won't replace your current family tree software, but it might replace your spreadsheet, your word processing program, the papers on your desk, and the sticky notes on your monitor.

šŸ… One of the 101 best genealogy websites of 2024 according to Family Tree Magazine: "Though named for two female ancestors, [Goldie May] is anything but old-fashioned...."

šŸ… "I can say without equivocation that this is the first genealogy app that directly helps me with my research..." ā€“ James Tanner, Genealogy's Star

šŸ… FamilySearch Compatible Solution

šŸ… Authorized training partner of The Family History Guide


āœ… Projects
Organize your research into projects, each with an objective, subjects, and research plan. Great for client work or all your family lines.

āœ… 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.

āœ… Automatic Research Log
Turn it on, then start researching. Goldie May keeps a list of all the sites you visit, rabbit holes and all.

āœ… Screenshots
Take screenshots and save them directly to your research log.

āœ… Citations
On known websites, citations are created for you.

āœ… 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.

āœ… Accessible from anywhere
Your data is stored in the cloud. Access your projects from the library, an archive, or your nearest FamilySearch center.

āœ… 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.

āœ… Newspaper coverage tool
See which newspapers ran when and where your ancestor lived and open them on the provider's website.

āœ… 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.

āœ… Catalog of catalogs
See what collections the big genealogy and newspaper sites have for a given time and place and quickly go there.

āœ… Auto-search
Launch searches into census records, and quickly jump to the next and previous census for that location.


šŸ‘‹ On a personal note, I'm a software developer who worked in tech roles at three genealogy companies. Now I'm building Goldie May for my research and yours!

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!

Really great extension that simplifies so many of the steps for keeping track of research. Particularly for me, as someone who is not only disorganized but also distracted by every rabbit hole I find, this helps to keep me on task and most especially know where to start each time I begin researching. A huge game-changer in the family history tech space.
