Software Power Tools for Genealogists
Goldie May provides software power tools for genealogists.
It's not another place for storing your conclusions; it's a place for your work in progress. Keep your data in FamilySearch Tree or your Ancestry tree and see if Goldie May can help.

Goldie May is a FamilySearch Compatible Solution.
Goldie May is an authorized training partner of The Family History Guide.
Volunteering: In collaboration with the BYU Record Linking Lab, you can volunteer your time to attach records from the U.S. and U.K. Censuses to FamilySearch Tree. Like indexing, this is an altruistic effort to improve the Family Tree for others, especially new users. You'll attach records to existing people in the Tree and add new people.
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!

Makes increasing the FamilyTree size infinitely easier and faster, would highly recommend giving it a try! |

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. |

The chief benefit of this extension in my opinion is that it points out which ancestors are well sourced and which have never had any updating since the old Book of Remembrance pages. Let's face it. Too many of us think our family history is "done," when the tree hasn't been pruned or fertilized for years. This is a great time for this utility to be launched, since more of us are housebound and need some constructive things to do with our browsers. |

I was disappointed to see that this extension relies solely upon individuals added to Family Search's "one shared tree". I strongly encourage individuals to recognize that while Family Search's primary benefactor, the Church of Latter Day Saints, generously provides an outstanding array of digitized array of genealogical resources, their goal of building "one tree" offers zero privacy or control by family members who might not share their vision. I do not subscribe to the religious beliefs of the Church of Latter Day Saints, and therefore, cannot recommend a tool that is in line with their principles. |

Great research log tool! The extension includes guided research steps to help you in each part of the research process - from creating an objective, to planning tasks, finding locality information, and even taking screenshots. Goldie May logs each website you visit - a great start for newbie research loggers! |
