Ok you’ve heard the hype and the warnings but really what can these AI tools do for you? There are many practical uses of the various AI tools from transcribing handwritten documents, translating into English and summarizing documents into tables, there are a lot of practical uses that can save of a lot of time with our genealogy research. Doug will have practical examples of the best uses of these tools and share some examples of what he has used them to help in his genealogy research. Yes, they can make mistakes but so can we!  A Zoom link will be sent to members a week before the meeting and a reminder the day before via our newsgroup at MontgomeryCountyGenealogy@groups.io. 
 
Doug Hill has been researching his family history for more than 50 years, “mind you not very well as a teen and well before the internet made it a whole lot easier!” he says. Also, it was long before DNA testing and the surprises that can come with test results. He now has almost 4,000 in his ancestry tree and recently made a connection to his 8th great-grandfather, taking him back to Maryland’s Eastern Shore in the late 1600s. He recently moved to Riderwood, a retirement community in Silver Spring. “I am always eager to share knowledge with the genealogy community,” he says. A Zoom link will be sent to members a week before the meeting and a reminder the day before via our newsgroup at MontgomeryCountyGenealogy@groups.io.
