Their syllabus is very helpful. I do plan to listen to this again – as soon as possible! Most exciting to me, now – as I just received my 2nd list of “possible cousins” after my DNA from My Heritage. I still like Legacy Family Webinars and Geoff — the best! Thank you all… Clara in NE
Today’s webinar answered questions that I personally have about my privacy and my safety in using these new AI tools and other new tools . The walk through of the settings for AI is a goldmine of information that I will also use for DNA tools. The sample questions that the presenters developed for us to use to question how these programs work is a lesson in critical thinking about new technology. Thanks again.
I’m loving the workbook and how we can use this information as we go forward and explore AI. A comment today by a participant on always using the Genealogical Proof Standard was also helpful. My homework will include asking my AI helper, “Give me a summary of what the Genealogical Proof Standard is”. Then compare it to the book, which I have. If it misinterprets it, I will teach it by giving a clear example and have that go into my Memory section. Great stuff today, thank you.
Andrew and Fiona are a great team! I can’t wait to try writing a life story of my Great-grandmother using AI. Great lists of things to think about when you use Chatgpt and AI. Thanks!
Thank you for another great session. I found it very informative and reassuring, especially the focus on responsible use, ethical awareness, and how AI can support — not replace — sound genealogical research.
Oh my goodness that was great. Thanks Fiona and Andrew. AI is quite intimidating when you’re starting to use it that is why these webinars are so useful.
From Problem to Solution: A Case Study Approach to Using AI in Genealogy
Artificial intelligence is changing the way genealogists work—but how do you move beyond tips and tricks to apply AI in a sound, methodical way? In this session, Andrew Redfern demonstrates how a case study approach provides the answer. Using real examples, he walks through the stages of tackling a genealogical problem with AI, showing how tools can assist with transcription, analysis, correlation of evidence, and presentation of findings. Rather than treating AI as a shortcut, Andrew highlights how to integrate it into the established genealogical research cycle—problem definition, source gathering, analysis, and conclusion. Attendees will see how AI can clarify complex evidence, save time on repetitive tasks, and support storytelling, while still requiring human expertise and critical thinking. By the end of the session, participants will have a practical framework they can adapt to their own research problems, ensuring that AI becomes a trusted partner in genealogical methodology.

This was an interesting, informative, and educational presentation by our very own sympatico tag-team Andrew Redfern and Fiona Brooker.
A lot of information to take in. Will certainly listen to the recordings again. Thank you, Andrew & Fiona!
