52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks – Turning Research Into Stories Most of us who do genealogy share the same problem: the research piles up, but the stories don’t. We have family tree charts, DNA matches, and carefully saved documents – yet many of our ancestors remain just names and dates in a database.

ChatGPT can really help with transcriptions, but you have to carefully check its output. It sometimes adlibs even when given thorough instructions, or as in this case, just misspells what it sees. #Genealogy
