Ethnicity options / DNA citations / AI video / Newspapers video

Here's the latest on Goldie May. I hope you are doing well!

Product Updates

• The Catalog now has 3 ethnicity filters — African American, German, and Jewish — making it an even better newspaper finding aid.
• Research log screenshots now appear in a carousel so you can jump between them with your mouse or the arrows on your keyboard.
• You can click a link to add a FamilySearch person to a project without needing to copy and paste the ID. Try it by opening a FamilySearch person on the left and a Goldie May project on the right.
• [Pro feature] Automatic citations for AncestryDNA match pages. If the Goldie May privacy feature is enabled at the time, the citation is privatized. If the privacy feature is off, the citation includes the full name.
• Various improvements to dark mode. Goldie May follows your system preference for light or dark mode.

Videos

• "AI vulnerabilities for genealogists" (10m) on the Goldie May YouTube channel. This is very timely as two more agentic browsers were announced this week.
• "Goldie May as a Newspaper Finding Aid", a recording of my webinar at the BYU Library Family History Center.

As always, you can reply directly to this email to get in touch.

Best wishes,
