I tried Google's NotebookLM for the first time the other day. I turned a short 1902 newspaper article into an infographic. Alex Hawthorne is my great-grandfather. Hiram Castleberry is an African-American. The info is one-sided. #Genealogy

#WeirdWednesday: A classic joke I heard back in the 90s. I turned it into a visual using ChatGPT.

I created this visual from a joke using ChatGPT.

Experiment with #AI. Prompt: "Generate a family tree diagram with pedigree collapse." 1. CoPilot couldn't even figure it out. 2. ChatGPT was simple and to the point. 3. Perplexity was better, but also gave an excellent description of pedigree collapse. See below in comments. #Genealogy

Hi #AncestryHour. I'm super excited to see that MyHeritage have announced a switch to WGS (see: finance.yahoo.com/news/myherit...). I have a spare MH test so really hope that MH are doing WGS for all new samples 😀

Find a Grave Tip: Make sure your reflection isn't on the stone! 🤣 This was a trip I took in 2022 to Conecuh County, Alabama. Not a relative, just thought it was cool with a picture of him with a guitar. #FG #FindaGrave #Genealogy #FindaGraveFriday

#WeirdWednesday ...And as Fox Mulder would say, "I want to believe".

There were three Seminole Indian Wars in Florida between 1817 and 1858 to force the original people off their lands by the US government for the sake of settlers. It's heartbreaking to learn my direct ancestor and cousin was part of that, but I'm just a genealogist learning about history #Genealogy

#TicketStubTuesday: 1st. Marine Division Band – January 31, 2014 – California Center for the Arts, Escondido, California. #Oorah #NewYearsEve

RIP Robert Redford.

Finally, a #WikiTree connection that is right! My 5th. great-granduncle married Nancy Ann Boone (a cousin of Daniel Boone). Family lore always said they knew Daniel Boone and that he took them across the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky.

#NeverForget #PatriotsDay

Happy birthday, Mom! Daughter of Sammie Redford Galloway and Maggie Lucille Gowens. Born in Huntington Beach, California. She was the first child of her family to be born in California. Her siblings and parents were all born in Texas.

Transcribing letters: I tried 3 AI platforms, ChatGPT, Transkribus, and Evernote AI Transcribe, and all of them couldn't get it right. I guess I'll go back to doing it myself. sigh 😞 #Genealogy #GetErDone
