  • RLP 326: Using AI with Research Planning

    RLP 326: Using AI with Research Planning
    Oct 7 2024
    In this episode of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, Nicole and Diana discuss the importance of research planning in genealogy and how AI tools can be used to assist in this process. They emphasize that a thorough research plan helps genealogists stay focused on their objectives, pick up where they left off if their work is interrupted, and approach problems systematically. The hosts break down the elements of a research plan, which include the objective, a summary of known facts, a working hypothesis, identified sources, and a prioritized research strategy. They use the case study of researching Isabella Weatherford in Texas in the mid-1800s to illustrate these elements. Diana shares how she used AI tools to transcribe and organize a 57-page widow's pension file for Isabella, create a summary of known facts, and generate a hypothesis. They compare Diana's hypothesis with one generated by AI, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. The hosts also discuss how AI can be used to identify potential sources and prioritize research strategies. They emphasize the importance of verifying AI-generated information against reliable sources and using AI to generate new ideas and perspectives. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

    RLP 325: Using AI with Locality Research
    Sep 30 2024
    In this episode of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, Diana and Nicole discuss using AI in locality research, focusing on the Isabella Weatherford project. They emphasize the importance of locality guides in genealogical research, as they provide essential historical context, help researchers understand available records, and shed light on migration patterns and local events that may have impacted ancestors' lives. The hosts explore how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can be used to create locality guides more efficiently. Diana shares her experience using AI to create a locality guide for Dallas County, Texas, in the 1870s, demonstrating how AI helped her gather historical and geographical information, create a timeline of major events, and identify relevant record collections. Diana and Nicole also discuss the strengths and limitations of different AI tools and offer tips for effectively using AI in locality research. They emphasize the importance of verifying information from AI sources and using AI as a tool to complement, rather than replace, traditional research methods.
