How AI can save you hours when researching your family history.

How AI can save you hours when researching your family history.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is often viewed as a “techie” subject that seems far removed from everyday tasks.  However, if you’re conducting family history research, chances are you’re already using AI without even realizing it.  Platforms like Ancestry, FamilySearch, and FindMyPast rely heavily on AI to enhance their services.
This talk will explore how other AI tools—such as ChatGPT—can directly assist you in becoming more efficient and effective in your research.
Just eight months ago, Steve had never used AI in his genealogy work. Now, he integrates AI into his daily research routine.  Join him as he shares his journey from AI novice to a daily user in the world of family history research.

The meeting is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members.
 
Branch library available to members to borrow books.  Refreshments available.  Car park outside the hall.
