Last week, I had an incredible time presenting with Marissa Gardner, AG, on efficiency tools for forensic genealogy with the APG Forensic Genealogy Special Interest Group. It was exciting to share these tools with other professionals who are interested in optimizing their workflows and improving both their business and research efficiency.

Tonight, I’m thrilled to dive deeper into one of those tools, TextExpander, and demonstrate how it can streamline genealogy work—particularly in creating consistent citations, drafting document templates for contracts or reports, and handling repetitive tasks. This tool is incredibly beneficial for genealogists looking to save time and maintain accuracy in their documentation.

While this presentation is focused on genealogy, TextExpander's capabilities extend beyond that. Whether you’re drafting legal documents, managing client communications, or handling any repetitive typing tasks, this tool can help you work more efficiently.

Join me live tonight, September 3rd at 10pm EST, or catch the recording later on Legacy Family Tree Webinars. You can watch it for free during the first week at the following link: https://familytreewebinars.com/webinar/efficient-genealogy-streamline-your-research-with-textexpander/. After that, it will be accessible to Legacy Family Tree Webinar Members only.

If you’re looking to enhance your efficiency, I’d love for you to check it out!
