*Full-Text Search Class starting--late registrants are ok.*
*Genealogy Consulting with AI--registrations now working*

*Can I still sign up for the full-text search at FamilySearch class
starting on 15 Sept?--yes!*

We've had several ask if they could join the full-text class late.
The answer is yes. The first session 15 Sept (7:30 pm central) is an
overview of the course and it's not crucial if it is missed.

Details at on our website:

We've had some registration issues with this course, but those have been
corrected. Links should be working now.

Genealogy Consultations with AI

*Our approach is to always use AI responsibly and practically.*

*See how to use AI as your own genealogy consultant.*

Maybe you can’t afford a consultant for your own research or you have too
many genealogy problems to hire help with every one.  AI can serve as your
own genealogy research consultant.

As with a human consultant, you’ll need to do the initial work on your
ancestor, gather what you have, and familiarize yourself with basic sources
in the area. There is no guarantee that AI will solve your problem.

But using AI as your personal research consultant can help. Not by doing
the research for you,  or inventing ancestors that never existed, but by
doing what a good consultant actually does: looking at what you have,
summarizing it, discussing it, and giving you ideas on where to look next
or to help you see things in a different way.  It may even tell you where
you need to go to improve your research skills.

After using AI, you still may decide to use a human consultant. The work
you did with AI will help you prepare to get the most from that advice from
a real person and to make the best use of your time and money should that
be necessary. We acknowledge in this presentation and approach that AI does
not know everything, is not perfect, and cannot solve every problem. It’s
just another tool.

You'll see how to frame a research problem so AI gives you something useful
instead of something vague. You'll learn to recognize when it's guessing,
because it will, and how to catch hallucinations and how to use AI in a
discerning fashion.

The goal isn't to replace your judgment. It's to give you a thinking
partner available at two in the morning when you finally realize you need
to get outside your own mind on a certain ancestral problem.

Pre-order the presentation now.
