Tuesday's Tip: Relatively Curious Internet Genealogy Toolbar

Wow, am I having fun with a new tool I found at the California Family History Expo. It's the Relatively Curious Internet Genealogy Toolbar, available here for download.


Links to Resources in Relatively Curious

As you can see from the screenshot above, Relatively Curious adds a toolbar just below the standard one that you can configure in Firefox. Relatively Curious has done most of the work for you, with preset section for Resources, Free Sites, Paid Sites, In Print, Connect (links to social networking sites), Blogs, Gadgets (Evernote, Tiny URL, etc.), Hi! (IM with your genie pals), and even the weather (that stuff that happens outside while you're inside bathed in a phosphorescent glow from your computer screen). There's also a search window and a highlighter that helps you find search terms on the page.

A couple more screenshots:

Relatively Curious is the brainchild of Tami Osmer Glatz. You can friend Relatively Curious on Facebook here.

Looking forward to Friday and Saturday, when I'll be presenting at the Arizona Family History Expo. I hope to see you there.
