Simplicity and Clarity: search differently, understand more effectively, and put AI to work


Thursday, Oct 15, 2026, 7:30 PM until 9:00 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC-05:00)

Description: This presentation emphasizes simplicity and clarity: how to search differently, how to understand results more effectively, and how to put AI to work on difficult tasks such as comparing records, analyzing timelines, and exploring alternate research paths. Real-world examples will show how AI can support sound genealogical methodology while keeping the researcher firmly in control.
