Experts Irene Johnson, Cyndi Howells, and host Scott Wilkinson talk about the impact the computer has had on genealogy.
CDs are another wonderful technological tool for genealogists.
CDs are compact disks that are able to store large amounts of information - the equivalent of 160,000 pages of text. For this reason, they are often sold with searchable databases of great value to genealogists. We are just at the beginning stage of this information revolution, the number of files available for research mushrooms month by month. Researchers today may purchase CDs with census, military, immigration, land, and family history information, just to name a few examples. To get a flavor of the CDs now available, see the CDs guide .
