I’ve not been able to get any AI to read American census records consistently across all the columns. I’ll have to give it a go again, perhaps something changed.
My success has been with English and Welsh census records - at least for those with clear handwritten entries. Analysis of Canadian census records has proven difficult - their density of information eludes the skill of an AI tool.
When I am researching a family living in a small Cornish village this could be a very powerful tool. In the past, I have tried to summarise the occupations and look for connections that might help with that. But as you demonstrate its all about preparation and being clear on what your asking. Thanks for sharing.
AI provides us with another perspective, and a new lens through which to view the details in census records. So glad this edition of my A to Z Challenge for April was useful.
I think you will find the strategy useful for extracting details that you may not have seen. For me the process leads to another set of questions and alternative points of view.

I love research so this was fascinating.
I love ancestral research too, especially when I discover that some facts are hidden in plain sight! My AI assistants can bring them into the light!

I haven’t used AI to mine my census data as yet but I’m about to start a census project so will give it a try. AI is improving very quickly
