Airtable Essentials for Genealogists

Discover the power of a personalized relational database to take your genealogy to the next level. Airtable is a flexible, intuitive tool that helps you organize, visualize, and connect your genealogy information like never before. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build an Airtable genealogy base from scratch and learn how to link people, sources, and places using lookup fields, filters, and views. Enter your data once, then easily sort and display it in multiple ways to highlight FAN club connections, timelines, and more.

We’ll explore real examples—using Airtable to track complex research projects, catalog personal family archives, and import existing Excel spreadsheets. You’ll walk away with practical skills and ideas for turning Airtable into your own master correlation tool. Plus, we’ll cover how to download and back up your data to ensure your work remains safe and accessible. And the best part? Everything we’ll do works perfectly with Airtable’s free version.
