Natalie Webb lives where technology and genealogy meet—and she’s happiest helping people feel less intimidated by both. After spending 25 years as a project manager, technical trainer, and all-around problem solver, she realized something important: genealogists were being asked to master powerful digital tools, often without clear guidance or plain-language explanations.
Through her business, Family Tree Technology, she is on a mission to help genealogists make sense of online research platforms, data organization, and emerging tech without feeling overwhelmed. She brings a genealogist’s mindset to technology and a technologist’s structure to genealogy, translating complex ideas into practical, usable steps that fit real research workflows.
Natalie writes, teaches, and speaks for genealogical audiences who want to build skills with confidence; whether that’s through webinars for societies and libraries, articles for genealogy websites, or hands-on demonstrations of new tools. Known for her friendly, down-to-earth approach, she believes technology should support good research, not get in the way. Natalie enjoys collaborating with organizations and publishers who share her goal of making modern genealogy more accessible, effective, and even a little fun.
