@PhilGrass This intrigues me somewhat. I am very cautious of AI in research; especially historic research. I wouldn't take the answers as completely accurate, but I can see you received some useful data.

Curious what others are using #AI for, in regard to #Genealogy ?

@PattyHankins @thedanielsgenealogy @AncestryRoads I am fine with people using whatever platform suits them. I wish the #genealogy community was more active here. I don't use Facebook much these days---but it still is the easiest for me with groups with genealogical focus. I left the #deadbirdsite which I did very much like before #musk took over. I would rather have a smaller audience that is peaceful, kind and not monetized and exploitative. I am happy to make a small contribution each month to help my instance. I am just not interested in more time sucks exploiting me. The lack of algorithms, ads and the democracy here suits me. #genedons @genealogy

I'm looking for someone to transcribe/translate a few baptism/marriage/burial records from 19th Century #Germany - any recommendations? #genealogy #genedons

I want to know his YDNA & mtDNA haplogroups! #genealogy #genedons #DNA @geneadons #Mendel https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/12/30/1142202365/gregor-mendel-genetics-dna-analyzed?
Why scientists dug up the father of genetics, Gregor Mendel, and analyzed his DNA

The year 2022 was the 200th anniversary of the birth of Gregor Mendel. He's known as the father of genetics, so scientists exhumed Mendel's body and examined his DNA.

I'll start. I use TNG as it's fully online. I love(d) iFamily for the Mac, but not having it all online makes it less accessible if I am out and about.

@HeatherRojo although to be accurate with pedigre collapse the numbers do not keep doubling. The tree would round in like an oak. In my tree especially in Rehoboth I have one couple that appears 5 times in my family tree and others 3 and 4 x's. I am also descended from Walter PALMER originally of Rehoboth later Stonington 4 times! If you have ancestry in the first 50 years in MA you have an est 1/5 chance of being related. #genedons #genealogy #RehobothMAPlaces #StoningtonCTPlaces #PALMER

#genealogy #genedons #books If you like murder mysteries may I recommend this one by Peter May with a genealogical twist. Especially if you have Scottish ancestry that immigrated to Canada.

People who want original research on the #Wapanoag & other indigenous people and their intersection with Europeans in New England. I highly recommend Our Beloved Kin by Lisa Brooks. It is subtitled A New History of King Philip's War but it is soo much more. You will look at the lives of your ancestors differently, I promise. #thanksgiving #bookodons #genedons #genealogy #KingPhilipsWar
