Running Android Genealogy Apps on a Chromebook

I have written a number of times about Chromebooks, the low-cost laptop computers that boot up quickly, are simple to use, never get viruses, and perform the computer tasks that many computer owners want. (Go to https://goo.gl/TsSWQ5 to find my earlier Chromebook articles.) These $150 to $300 laptop computers are very useful for a very specific type of computer user—someone who spends most of his or her time using the Web and Web-centric services. These days, a lot of people fall into that category, including myself.

One of the weaknesses of Chromebooks has been the lack of good genealogy apps. That has now changed.
