Stop Asking ChatGPT to Find Your Ancestors — Try This Instead

Are you using ChatGPT for genealogy but still asking it to simply “find your ancestors”? There’s a much smarter way to use AI in family history research.

In this video, we explore practical ways to use ChatGPT as a genealogy research partner—from challenging your assumptions and analyzing historical evidence to finding new research paths when you hit a brick wall.

You’ll learn how to create better genealogy questions, evaluate the information you already have, and use AI to uncover research possibilities you may have overlooked.

Remember: ChatGPT can help you think through your research, but it should never replace original records or genealogical evidence. Always verify AI-generated suggestions against reliable historical sources.
