Additions and corrections to these tables are encouraged. To qualify for inclusion, a tool must either be free or [[FamilySearch Certified|FamilySearch Certified]]. Since the printing of the syllabus, MyFamily.com eliminated a free offering, so it has been removed from the table.<br>

The tables in the conference syllabus use the term ''Tree Results'' instead of ''Aggregator''. The tables here have been corrected. The conference syllabus only includes aggregators that provided their own collaborative tree. However, products certified to update the new FamilySearch Tree may be added to the tables below.

We invite everyone to monitor or contribute to the real-time research during the conference session. Tools and session participation links are subject to change. Check here before the session for the latest plans.
