The program at the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society will be "Writing a Family History Book Using AI" with Teresa Townsell. Have you ever wanted to use A.I. in your genealogy work? Is it finally time to turn your family research into a book your relatives can enjoy? Are you waiting until your research feels “finished” — or unsure where to begin with A.I.? This process meets you where you are. All you need is an Ancestry.com account and basic WORD skills (or the Apple equivalent). Teresa will teach you a simple, step-by-step process to write your family history book using A.I. (ChatGPT)—a process that’s easier, faster, and a lot more fun than you might imagine!
