How much of Google do you really use?

For most people Googling means searching a single word or a short phrase. But Google is FAR more than just a search engine. It's a toolbox. It's a worldwide map. It's a translator. A collaboration platform. Google can even search for you while you sleep!

How many tools do you know in Google's toolbox?

Ever used Google Translate to decipher documents in foreign languages? Ever used Google Earth for your ancestor's town, village, or street? Searched the Google Books library? Scoured Google Images for photos connected with your forbears? Discover the range of amazing tools that can add depth and dimension to your research.

Learn how to take your research deeper

The real goal of family history research is to go beyond names and dates. To learn about the lives of our ancestors; their struggles, their accomplishments, and the places and times they lived in. Google is powerful, but do you know how to use that power effectively in your research.

Learn how to use Google to find better, more targeted, more accurate search results. Results that really matter.
Get meaningful results
In between the dates on a tombstone is far more than a dash. Google can help you discover the world at the time they lived in.
Bring your research to life
Feel more confident searching with Google, and perhaps teach your grandchildren how to use Google!
Become a Google guru
