Editor’s Pick: Nicole Dyer
We love seeing the millions of different unique possibilities that airtable provides to its users. This month, we see no shortage of incredible bases and their purposes. Our Editor’s pick this month is a new creator Nicole Dyer and her base DNA Research Log.
Nicole is a professional genealogist, lecturer, and the creator of FamilyLocket.com and the Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast. She specializes in Southern United States research and works alongside her mother. She created Family Locket during her volunteer work as a family history consultant in 2015. Her passion for helping people become better researchers has lead her to speak at genealogy societies, conferences, and events and even consult with middle school classes during family history units.
Nicole and her mother love helping people solve their tough genealogy problems. They offer eCourses, study groups, document retrieval, and coaching & consulting services all from their Family Locket website. They also host the Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast where they discuss their Research Like a Pro method and talk about how to take your genealogy research to the next level.
A Look at Nicole’s Base: DNA Research Log
This base serves as a great tool to assist you during your genealogy research by helping you keep track of your DNA matches and genealogy searches all in one place. You can avoid duplicating data by keeping track of any found DNA matches in one table and all the research relating to each DNA match in the research log table. With already 15 total base copies in a month, this base definitely has some interest from other genealogy lovers looking to conduct their own research.
We are so thankful to Nicole for sharing her wonderful base with us in the Airtable Universe. You can follow her on her Twitter and Instagram social accounts at @familylocket. Here at BuiltOnAir, one of our favorite things we love seeing is all the creative ways users can manipulate airtable to fit their needs.
