April 16, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

Our Mid-Month, third Wednesday program for April 16, will be our Zoom only program by Genealogist Diana Elder, AGR AGL, a professional genealogist, author and speaker from Utah. She is also founder of FamilyLocket.com for genealogy research.

We are looking forward to learning how to use Artificial Intelligence so it can jumpstart our personal genealogical research in a way we currently know nothing about!

Her presentation will be: "AI in Genealogical Research: A Practical Approach. See how AI works in real genealogy research through hands-on examples. Using the case study of Isabella Weatherford, we’ll learn how AI can help with common research tasks like writing research objectives, creating timelines, analyzing documents, and preparing reports. You’ll see examples of AI tools in action and learn what they do well (and not so well). Leave with practical tips and specific examples you can use in your own family history research."

It promises to be a great presentation to learn new techniques!
If you are not a member (we wish you were!) Please contact a member for the Zoom information.
