June 4, 2026 - Using Excel for Genealogy

Bring your experiences, questions, and favorite discoveries. Guests are welcome!
Excel and Google Sheets are spreadsheet tools, a great way to organize and analyze data about our ancestors. 
  • Do you use Excel? If so, for which aspect of research?
  • We'll explore features like filtering and sorting. What other features do you find useful?
  • What resources are available to help learn how to use these tools?
