GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Let’s Talk AI: What’s Working in Our Genealogy Research

AI is becoming part of many genealogists’ workflows, but everyone is using it a little differently. In this GenFriends Cheri and the panel,  Melissa  Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, and Mary  Kircher Roddy share how AI is fitting into our current genealogy projects, from analyzing and transcribing records to exploring historical context. We’ll also talk about where human judgment still matters most and how to use these tools responsibly.

Watch and hear our thoughts and experiences.

How are you using AI in your research?

We'd love to hear from you!

Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance!-A Second Trip to Salt Lake!

 

You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 

This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment. 

Share by scrolling 

down and add your story to the comments section, or you may also link to a blog post about what had you dancing this week.

My Happy Dance Moment for the week:

A week after returning home from RootsTech, I flew back to Salt Lake City to spend an extra day in the FamilySearch Library and attend a family event.

Although it was fun being back at the library, wow, was it quiet after the masses who took time to research before, during, and after RootsTech!

I learned more about the book scanners and got a book onto a thumb drive for a friend.  So happy to be able to help! 

An extra day at the library, helping a friend, and then heading out to see family was an extra special happy dance moment!

What were you celebrating?

Share your Happy Dance Moment for the week, and let's celebrate together!

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
