    I am getting a better understanding of the subject matter – and have many ideas to use it to help me based on the speaker’s suggestions. Love the Python suggestion.

    Way back in the 1980s I did two years of classes on using computers to produce books, magazines, etc. Ground breaking learning at the time. Since then I’ve taught myself web coding, design apps, etc. I’m now 76 years old and it’s time to take another leap ahead by ramping up the ways I can do Genealogy. I intend to keep going for many more years into this amazing future.

    I’m astonished at the possibilities of AI for genealogy. I began genealogical research in 1971 before computers! The one thing I’ve learned is to be the best genealogist, keep learning about new tools.
