Family History Technology
As part of the family history work of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have also been involved in exploring ways to make better use of scanned historic documents to assist with family-history research.
Funding
This work has been funded in part by a generous donation to the BYU Computer Science department for funding family-history technology research.
