Notebook for Genealogy–A Four Session Pick Your Own Problem Course

With Michael John Neill

Our focus is on being practical, exhibiting sound genealogy methodology,
and demonstrating responsible use of Notebook (Google’s suite of AI tools)
in genealogy research. This course is for those who would like guidance and
suggestions in how to use Notebook and have a place to get feedback and
additional direction.

*What is Notebook?*

NotebookLM (often simply Notebook) is Google’s suite of AI-driven tools to
analyze data from files and information you provide it. .

Notebook uses sources of your choosing, not what it found online. You
upload your own materials—including PDF files, text files, Google Docs,
slides, or web links—and the AI creates a private workspace built
exclusively around that data. You can upload any genealogy information to
it tht you wish , but it is recommended that only deceased people be
included and that you not upload DNA information on living people.

Capabilities

   -

   Answers with Citations: When you ask questions or search your uploaded
   files, every response includes citations to your uploaded documents,
   allowing you to double-check sources.
   -

   Synthesis & Content Creation: Notebook automatically generates concise
   summaries, outlines main themes, and identifies connections or conflicts
   across dozens of sources at once. You do need to validate its summaries and
   conclusions.
   -

   Audio-visual Outputs: Beyond text answers, Notebook can create study
   guides, briefing documents, timeline charts, slide decks, podcast
   interviews, and videos based on your content. Even if you never share the
   created materials, just viewing them and interacting with them may give you
   some insight into your genealogical problem.


Course Prerequisites & Required Materials You should have digital records
for one ancestor or a father-mother-children family, including every extant
record available.

   -

   Format: PDF or JPG for images; PDF, Word, or raw text for transcriptions.
   -

   Preparation: Be familiar with the specific ancestral research problem
   you plan to work on to get the most from Notebook LM and AI concepts.
   Gather all materials between registration and the start of class.

Course Format & Zoom Sessions

   -

   Pre-Recorded Lectures: Students will view two hours of presentations
   before group sessions begin.
   -

   Live Zoom Sessions: Held on Sunday nights (and recorded for later
   viewing). Sessions combine live demonstrations by Michael working through a
   set of family records alongside group discussions where students share
   prompts, results, challenges, and questions.

Class Focus & Weekly Assignments

   -

   Weekly Assignments: One assignment per week focused on Notebook's media
   outputs using your own research problem.
   -

   Scope: The course focuses on mastering the tools and capabilities of
   Notebook rather than providing individual research advice, making it
   accessible to participants working on problems from any region.

Community Discussion & Communication

   -

   Private Google Group: Used for asynchronous discussion, peer
   interaction, Q&A, and prompt sharing outside of live sessions.
   -

   Email Requirement: A Gmail account is strongly recommended. Accounts
   with AOL, Yahoo, or Hotmail frequently experience delivery issues with
   group emails.
