This session illustrates how to do research collaboratively in real time using off-the-shelf products and services to accomplish more in less time and (we think) better results. FamilySearch has produced a video adaptation of this session. In the Learning Center, see "[https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/lesson/doing-research-in-real-time-a-collaborative-approach/648 Doing Research in Real Time: A Collaborative Approach]."<br>

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.
