At our February 2025 meeting, Tom MacEntee will join us to present “Translating, Transcribing and Summarizing Documents Using AI.” Tom introduced us to this technology last September when he presented “AI and Genealogy: Trouble Ahead.” AI (artificial intelligence) can improve our genealogy research, and who better to tell us how but one of our favorite presenters?

As his workshop description explains, Tom will teach us how to “harness the power of artificial intelligence to assist in translating, transcribing, and summarizing a variety of genealogy records. A handwritten baptismal record from the 1800s? No problem. A faded newspaper obituary? No problem. We’ll cover the best AI platforms as well as how to craft a solid prompt to get you the results you need.” Tom will also offer tips and tricks to increase our success.

If you missed Tom’s September presentation introducing us to AI (or if you want to review it), the recording and handout are available in the Members Only section of our website.
