Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society: "AI and Genealogy: Using AI for Social History"

Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society: "AI and Genealogy: Using AI for Social History"

Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society and the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library invite you to their monthly meeting.

For our April presentation, we will learn about "AI and Genealogy: Using AI for Social History" offered through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. The description from the Legacy Family Tree website states, "While you won’t be able to find genealogy-related records using artificial intelligence, you will be able to use AI to learn more about an ancestor’s “social history.” Social history details how an ancestor lived including where they lived, their occupation, the cost of goods and services, and why they may have migrated to or from a location. Social history “fills in the dash” between an ancestor’s birth date and death date." Join us and see what you can learn about ancestors in your family.

Thomas MacEntee is "a guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry years ago. He left a lucrative tech career to pursue his love of family history and genealogy. Technology and historical research seem like opposites, but “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide you through the maze of options so you can find your ancestors and bring their stories to life."

This program is scheduled to be held in person and virtually.

This program is suitable for adults and teens.
