What’s a Digital Dashboard?

Think of it like your genealogy command center—everything you need, in one place.

The Digital Dashboard is a simple Google Sheet designed to give you a clear view of your current research projects, to-do lists, sources to check out, and more.

It helps you stay focused, skip the chaos, and quickly jump into a task that fits the time you have.

Instead of flipping through notes or opening a dozen files, you’ll open your dashboard and see exactly where to begin.

What's included with the Planner + Dashboard?

The PDF Planner file: textual information and printable forms.

The Digital Dashboard(Google Sheets): lists and links to everything else you need.

Between the Planner and Dashboard you have templates and how-to information to help you keep your genealogy tasks organized.
