WMGS Next-Gen Genealogy: Tools to Transform Your Research

September 25 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Genealogy is evolving at a remarkable pace, with exciting new technologies transforming how we discover our ancestors and preserve their stories.

At our September training session, we’ll offer a trio of mini-presentations showcasing cutting edge resources our hosts have been exploring. Each presentation will last 15 to 20 minutes.

We’ll cover:

  • Google Maps & Google Earth
    Discover your ancestors’ homes, explore geographic migration routes, and gain
    insights on your family journeys.
  • AI Platforms
    Discover how tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity can assist with everything from formulating research questions to organizing and writing about your discoveries.
  • FamilySearch Labs
    Learn about FamilySearch’s experimental labs, including full-text search techniques, AI-powered Help Center searches, and the Ask a Help Chatbot feature. We’ll also explore where to find digitized books and archived videos from past RootsTech conferences.

There’s a lot happening in genealogy these days, and it’s a great time to take your research to the next level. Join us on Thursday, September 25 at 7 p.m. as we explore a few of them!
