Tri-City Genealogical Society Using AI to Help Genealogists

Please join us for Tri-City Genealogical Society’s March General meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13.  The presentation will be at the Richland FamilySearch Center located at 1314A Goethals Dr.  Entrance is down the ramp from the parking lot that is to the north of Dairy Queen.  The presentation will also be on Zoom so you can join in from the comfort of your own home.  See below for the Zoom link.

  The March presentation will be by Thomas MacEntee.  Thomas is a professional genealogist specializing in the use of technology and social media to improve genealogical research and as a means of interacting with others in the family history community.  A handout will be available upon request.

  The subject of the talk will be Translating, Transcribing and Summarizing Documents Using AI (Artificial Intelligence): Learn how to harness the power of artificial intelligence to assist in translating, transcribing, and summarizing a variety of genealogy records. A handwritten baptismal record from the 1800s? No problem. A faded newspaper obituary? No problem. We’ll cover the best AI platforms as well as how to craft a solid prompt to get you the results you need.
