The Future of Family History: Why AI is Your New Partner
Essential Genealogy 2.0 Membership
Ever stared at a brick wall in your family research, wishing you had a knowledgeable research assistant by your side? Or spent hours trying to transform dry facts into engaging family stories that your relatives will want to read? The landscape of genealogy has evolved, and artificial intelligence has become the research partner we've always dreamed of having.
But wait! You have resisted the tidal wave of change to Genealogy 2.0 and feel like you are now falling behind in updating to the new essential genealogy skills! Time has been an elusive commodity for you in 2024 to get a handle on what other genealogists are speaking about on social media. The terminology alone has been overwhelming. Large language models; chain of thought prompting; Generative Pre-Trained Transformers; and AI names such as Chat GPT Omni, Claude Sonnet, Perplexity, NotebookLM; and much more.
Now is the time to start planning ahead for your professional development for Ancestry in the World of AI in 2025.
Welcome to Genealogy 2.0
Think of Genealogy 2.0 as your traditional research methods supercharged with AI capabilities. It's not about replacing the tried-and-true techniques we all know and love—it's about enhancing them with tools that can help us work smarter, discover more, and tell better stories.
Today, I'm excited to introduce you to our recently updated Essential Genealogy 2.0 Membership, a comprehensive program designed for family historians who want to stay at the forefront of genealogical research and storytelling. New courses were added this year to provide the latest learning for a range of AI tools, including the big three: Chat GPT by OpenAI, Claude by Anthropic, and Perplexity.
Watch out for the revolutionary new AI tool, NotebookLM, an awesome new tool from Google. My plan is to incorporate this tool into the new course, “Beyond the Pen”, in next year’s academy offerings.
NotebookLM lets you read, take notes, ask questions, organise your ideas, and much more—all with the power of Google AI helping you at every step of the way.
