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! — Richard K. Miller

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.
