We live in world of apps. On your phone, laptop, or tablet, the things you do for business or pleasure are driven by applications. It's no different in family history—whether you are searching for ancestors, sharing family photos, or recording stories for future generations, there's an app for that.
FamilySearch is launching a new webpage with links to the latest, greatest family history apps. Called "App Gallery," the page features a curated list of apps from 3rd-party developers and FamilySearch to make it easier to discover, preserve, and share your family heritage.
The excitement around partnerships with Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and findmypast has left people wondering what else is out there? The goal of the App Gallery is to help patrons find new apps that appropriately fit their unique needs, wherever they are at in their family history. The list of potential products and services goes way beyond what you might think, including apps that include records, family tree software, tree analyzing software (find interesting patterns, missing ancestors, and so forth), chart printing, research tools, and tools for sharing your findings with family.
The number of apps promises to grow, with more and more individuals and organizations figuring out ways to make your family history life easier. Check App Gallery frequently to learn of new tools to help you make new discoveries and connect with your family heritage.
