Excel for Genealogists

Are you drowning in genealogy data? Between names, dates, places, sources, and correspondence, family history research has a way of outgrowing every notebook and form you throw at it. Excel can bring that flood under control, if you know which features to reach for.

Join Mark Thompson for an engaging talk designed specifically for genealogists. Mark will show you how to leverage key Excel features through real world genealogy examples, from organizing your information so that Excel’s most powerful features work for you, to harnessing data tables for easier analysis, to mastering the sorting and filtering techniques that the pros use.

You’ll leave with practical skills you can immediately use to improve your genealogy projects.
