SUMMARY:Using AI & DNA In Your Research with Diana Elder\, AG\, AGL
DESCRIPTION:Discover new possibilities in your family history research! Join nationally recognize genealogist and educator Diana Elder for four engaging sessions demonstrating how AI and DNA\, combined with sound genealogical methods\, can simplify complex tasks\, analyze records more effectively\, uncover new evidence\, and help solve longstanding family history mysteries. \nSession Information\n\nStreamlining Genealogical Research Plans with AI: A Step-by-Step Guide – This practical session offers a detailed look at integrating AI into your genealogical research planning workflow. We’ll explore AI-powered tools that can assist with each step of the planning process: clarifying research objectives\, analyzing and summarizing known facts\, generating hypotheses based on existing data\, expanding your list of potential sources\, and creating an optimized research strategy. Learn how to use AI to save time\, reduce oversight\, and create more robust research plans while maintaining control over your genealogical process.\nEfficient Locality Research with AI – Genealogists often face the hurdle of locality research – gathering historical details\, records\, and repositories for a specific area. This step\, though essential\, can be slow and laborious. Here’s where large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT\, Claude\, Perplexity\, and Gemini can empower your research. Imagine having an AI assistant that can unearth historical context\, relevant archives\, and past laws related to your location. LLMs excel at summarizing vast amounts of information and pinpointing key details you might miss. They can even translate resources in foreign languages\, broadening your search scope. However\, like any tool\, success hinges on user expertise. Learn to craft clear prompts and critically evaluate the information LLMs provide.\nFrom Complex to Clear: Transform Court Records with AI Tools – Court records contain rich genealogical evidence but can be overwhelming with their archaic legal language\, lengthy documents\, and complex terminology. This session demonstrates how AI tools can transform your approach to court record research\, making these valuable sources accessible and manageable. Learn how to use AI-powered full-text search to quickly locate relevant information within extensive court files. Discover techniques for translating obsolete legal terms and phrases into modern language. Explore methods for organizing chronological data from multiple court proceedings into clear\, analyzable formats using AI assistance.\nSolving a Family Mystery with DNA – Learn how combining traditional research with DNA evidence revealed an unknown grandfather in this compelling case study. Follow the project from the beginning steps of creating an objective to writing the conclusions. Discover the importance of a research log and careful tracking of sources. Finally\, see how Y-DNA and autosomal DNA used in tandem with the documentary sources solved this family’s mystery.
